we've been teaching diminutives but where's the love for the augmentatives.....

male → ão (ah-uhn)

female → ona (oh-nah)

neutral → ãe (ah-in)

you can either replace the last vowel(s) with it or add it with a z

examples:

harukão

yunona

fuutão

muuzona

shidouzão

also, for pvp, you can double it

examples:

mahironazona

kazuizão (you can't w this one....)

amanonazona

mikotãozão

kotokonazona

Uni has almost killed my will to study languages. ❤️‍🩹

With the university, many things changed. Yes, I started learning my favorite language, the one I always have been dreaming of Japanese, but the university, especially the master's degree turned what I loved the most into a nightmare. Did you read the evil and intrusive thoughts I wrote in this picture? I have said all of these things to myself at least once, and I hate it.

Sometimes I think I was deceived. I have been studying languages mostly at school throughout the entirety of my academic journey, and I loved it, besides German, I have always had a pleasant experience and prepared teachers who made me fall in love with studying a new language.

Besides doing my best and trying to fight some mental and physical issues I have been having for a while, studying Japanese became almost the worst thing I have ever done in my life, sometimes I wished I had self-studied it instead of majoring in it.

The written exams were basically just a"let's see how well you memorize the example sentences of the book" kind of thing, definitely not the best approach. The same goes for kanji and vocabulary, everything was tested to see how well you memorize, not how you can actually move freely in the language.

This extremely wrong (at least in my opinion) approach almost killed my will to keep studying languages in general, so that's why during the last year I have basically quitted self-studying, I needed to use all of my energies to do more than my best to pass those freaking exam.

Now I am here telling you that I made it and paid a high price, but at least I am here loving languages more than ever! I am still trying to adapt to my new working schedule, understand what goals I want to achieve, and prepare a solid plan, but step by step. Rushing will never be productive!

💭 What about you? Did you have a similar experience? Feel free to share it in the comments, this is a safe place for anyone!

3 Chinese Urban Dictionary websites !! 流行语词典

Hi guys! Here are three websites that are dictionary lists of the latest slang words on Chinese internet (like Chinese urban dictionaries)

Additionally an excellent way to understand a new slang word is to type into Baidu “word + 什么意思”, an explanation almost always comes up, even for the most obscure words. For example, today I look up what “扣1″ means.

Let me know a slang word you have learnt this week? Share it in the comments!!

Btw, I have started an instagram, come and follow me @ chinesestudyblog

(note: this one is in English, more friendly for beginners (and also advanced users also too tbh because I find they seem to have the top/most popular words as opposed to huge lists of words you’d probably never come across - these one’s you will most definitely see used commonly)
