Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
I speak Mandarin, that’s like my first language I suppose.
Cool, so there’s definitely speakers around.
I wonder if there’s a Taiwan instance…
I hate to link this but uh can’t find a better resource with quick Google
https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseLanguage/wiki/faq
Essentially you’ll want to decide to go with Simplified or Traditional mandarin, Pinyin vs Zhuyin. Taiwan and HK use Traditional, you’ll learn through Zhuyin, while China/SG/MY (and many others) use Simplified, learnt through Pinyin. Ignore dialects eg. Cantonese, Hokkien all that for now.
It’s totally fine to link a reddit post as a source. We can still use the info from there, just better not to engage.
Even better, repost all the info here so we don’t have to give them traffic. I might find a language learning instance and do that.
InB4 “but that’s stealing”: Spez has already established that Reddit owns the content, not the users, so you’re stealing from Reddit, not the OP.
Thanks! I will be focusing on Mandarin as used in mainland.
