Hey everyone :)
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on starting with Mandarin? I'm curious about Mandarin and wanted to look into it just for fun at my own slow pace. So far it's been much more difficult than other languages I'm studying mainly due to the character system. I don't know even where to begin with pronunciation! I don't really understand how the characters work. Can anyone explain?
If anyone knows of a site with the International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions of words that would be amazing! I've used Wiktionary in the past for Russian, but I can't search for words because I don't know how to spell in Mandarin. Even when I can find words there it doesn't have the IPA.
Any tips, or even any music or movies you know of in Mandarin, I would love for you to share!! I literally know nothing. Help plz aha.
Thank you heaps in advance :)
All the best
I keep hearing the phrase 'Русская душа' and I wondering if anyone can explain to me what it means? I find cultural things really interesting, that is why I am asking :). I think in Australia we don't have an 'Australian Soul,' or equivalent Australian version of 'Русская душа.'
Thank you everyone for reading. Всем спасибо!
Hello everyone!
This is a question for anyone who has become reasonably fluent in another language (especially Russian or Japanese). I just wanted to ask...how did you do it? Are there any particular things that really helped you, as in activities or tips? The grammar exercises we do at university I just seem to forget. Speaking is still so scary- I freeze when I go to talk!
Anyway, thank you for reading. Any ideas or advice you have would be awesome! :)
Я не могу найти хорошую русскую музыку! Я люблю 'Наадя.'
