Hey, hi, hello! All of this self-isolation has driven me crazy and I’m so bored, so, here I am back to tumblr! I don’t want to promise that I will continue to update a lot, but I definitely will try ^^ I’m also attempting to get back into self-study more fully. Especially because I have the time to do it
Ya girl has come back from the dead! And is super ready to start my language studies again. I decided I’m practically gonna review everything all over from the beginning again, but I also want to continue on after I finish the review part. I’m also trying to add like 3 more languages to my list: Thai, Vietnamese, and Tibetan. I’m definitely going to post something every day, related to what I learned that day. I’m still trying to figure out my schedule for how I want to study. I’m not sure yet how many languages I want to focus on every day. I’m pretty free and have so much time so I was thinking about 2 or 3 a day? I also want to start on a youtube but that’s so much effort and I’m honestly not sure yet, haha, but we’ll see! I hope that I can make new friends through here. Would really love to have people to talk with, to practice with, or to discuss struggles with haha
For all those times you ask yourself, “Onyomi or Kunyomi??”
TIME EXPRESSIONS CHEAT SHEET
I figured this was about time I actually learned how to say days of the month properly haha. I kinda skipped over this part when I was first learning japanese. Don’t be like me.
Irregular readings are highlighted in purple.
If you see any mistakes, please let me know!
I will be competing in my state’s 汉语桥 competition this year! As exciting as it is, it’s also a lot of work. I now have to memorize 2 poems, memorize a skit, write and memorize a speech, and prepare how to explain the meaning of like 5 成语. I also have to memorize the lyrics for a song I choose to sing. And I have to study and memorize facts from like 6 or 7 different books about different parts of Chinese culture, literature, geography and history. And I have to do it all by March 30th. But, if I can do well, I may be chosen to compete in the competition down in San Francisco in May! So, 加油 to me and everyone else who is preparing for this competition!
So, I officially started learning Thai for 2019. Just working on learning the writing system right now, but after that I will probably move onto vocabulary and then add grammar after a certain number of vocab is learned. I’ll try to take you guys on this journey with me!
I have a question for everyone! Do you like the ‘study with me’ videos on youtube? If so, what kind of format do you like for them?

Hey, it’s me. Sorry I’ve been ridiculously inactive here. I really don’t mean to be. I think life has gotten the best of me for the moment. But hi, I’m back, I’m ready to be inspired and motivated by all the lovely people in both the studyblr and the langblr community. I’d really love to get a youtube started about language, but I’m a bit stuck on ideas for a first video, so I’m not sure what I’ll do just yet. But, I’ll get it figured out eventually. I don’t want to force it too much, you know? If you wanted a life update, I’m currently not attending school in any way, I’m looking for a job, and I’ve been sick with some weird throat/tonsil thing for a little over a month now. Honestly, I’m just ready to be done with a lot of things. I’m starting to self-study my Chinese every day. I’m trying to prepare to take the HSK, again, for a scholarship to study in China next school year. I suppose I’m not super worried, but, you know, I think there’s always a little nervousness around that kind of thing. I’ve been thinking about my life and future plans a lot recently. I’ve always kind of been exhausted from Alaska, but I think as each year passes by, and with every trip out of state that I take, the feeling grows. I think being in Alaska depresses me, coming back to Alaska from elsewhere majorly depresses me. I’m pretty decent at getting out of a depressive state, but I think it’s honestly a huge sign that I do really need to get out of here soon, for good. I told one of my good friends the other day I was so done with being here, it really didn’t even matter to me if I had to give up every single person I knew and most of the things I owned; that was my feeling of desperation to get out. I’m not feeling that desperate, but still, I have an inner urgency that is screaming. Just a quick, kinda long, life update. Feel free to message me with any encouraging words or suggestions on anything! I could use some haha
things english speakers know, but don’t know we know.
WOAH WHAT?
That is profound. I noticed this by accident when asked about adjectives by a Japanese student. She translated something from Japanese like “Brown big cat” and I corrected her. When she asked me why, I bluescreened.
Hi friends! I know I'm so inactive on Tumblr and I've said so many times that I would become more active but this time it's true! I actually have a YouTube channel in the works right now that will be language related so I will be using my Tumblr more often alongside it. And hopefully I'll post more original content instead of just reblogging everything constantly. Also, what kind of language related content would you guys like to see on my YouTube when I do start it up? Would love some video ideas from you all! ^^

Using 不仅
不仅 (bù jîn3) is a conjunction that means ‘not only’ and can be used to add additional information. It can also be used for differentiating and giving more alternatives. The structure has two parts. The first clause contains 不仅 which is followed by 也/而且。
Things to note:
1. 不仅 follows the subject when the two clauses share the same subject.
Example: 她不仅喜欢中国菜， 而且也会做几个中国菜。
2. 不仅 comes before the first subject when two clauses do not share the same subject.
Example: 不仅妈妈是老师, 爸爸也是老师。
3. You can replace 不仅 with 不但 (bù dàn) and 不只 (bù zhǐ). All of them mean ‘not only’ and will be followed by 而且.
Expressing not only but also in Mandarin can de done with the following structure.
subject+ 不仅/不但 /不只+clause 1…+也/而且/还 + clause 2
*Do remember the placement of 不仅 changes depending on whether you’re dealing with the same subject or not.
I passed level three of the HSK this past weekend, if that’s anything. Actually, I’m pretty happy about it especially since I haven’t taken a Chinese class in a year. It’s unfortunate that my university offers so little as far as language is concerned.
