@CCantonii@h1ghwaycavalier@sharghzadeh Depends. The characters are designed with mnemonics in mind. With proper instruction, ditching the HSK method and actually learning them in sentences you can learn to read over 3000 characters in a year and to write most of them.
That means you can hold a basic job.
@CCantonii@sharghzadeh The characters aren't that difficult. They are just a lot. Also Chinese works with them. The main issue is the typical chinese language course teaches you the wrong characters and very little vocabulary with near 0 speaking practice.
@sharghzadeh to learn actually useful things.
Consider this. Old HSK1 teaches you 150 words... New HSK1 300 words. If you finish all the HSK6 courses your level is not enough to be fluent.
There is simply not an easy pathway to learn the language.
@sharghzadeh Chinese is hard to start to learn due to the tones and lack of loanwords. But the biggest problem is that 99% of educational material are designed to make you pass a test and not to reach fluency. It's extremely frustrating needing to spend most of your time trying to find how
@omar_dddg@RealShahriqKhan I think some people don't realise that the standard canon of some religions implies there were rejected texts and stories that could have been popular among some sects of that religion.
@NabiaLoverio@sharghzadeh It was the Eastern Roman Empire. Everyone and themselves called themselves Romans. The term Hellenic meant pagan at the time. They even called their language Ρωμέικα. They didn't adopt Greek as their main language until the 6th century.
@egotis10@sharghzadeh We called ourselves Romans not Byzantines. Byzantium is a term invented because Westerners wanted sole claim over the legacy of the Roman Empire. That's why they crowned Roman Emperors when already there was a Roman Emperor in Istanbul.
@MasterMaliq CCP wants control. Islamic law is a problem. CCP also wants to sinicize religion. This is why the Hui Muslims (Chinese Muslims) have very few issues and the Uyghurs get treated like an insurrection.
@__Injaneb96 The US had no plan.
The US president literally threatened to bomb Iranians into the stone age.
The IRGC is now more powerful than before inside the country and will retaliate.
Khamenei got replaced by Khamenei.
The entire USA behaviour gives the IRGC narrative legitimacy
@NiohBerg @LiquidCognition The war was for Israel not you. You just enabled it. If the war was about you there wouldn't be war crime rhetoric being about pushing 90 million to the Stone age.
@LionSun@__Injaneb96 Do you really believe the guys who threatened to destroy your lives by taking you to the Stone age give a flying dime about Iranians and their needs
