I'm a week late lol but I have updates!!
- Started taking HSKK (Chinese Speaking Proficiency Test) advanced prep class :D We're all advanced learners in here with HSK 5/6 levels so the teacher is speaking in Chinese the whole time and I'm so happy that I can understand 99% of what she's saying but also I found out my Chinese speaking has really diminished 😭 Thank god I was able to introduce myself and answer her questions in Chinese but the mock tests are kicking my ass no doubt.
- J.Test (Japanese language exam) released the correct answers and I got enough marks to pass JLPT N3 level!! I'm still waiting for formal result announcements but I'm pretty sure I got it!! :D
- Started teaching a new basic Chinese class so now I have to teach 4 days per week. It's a bit tough but I think I'm making it work?
- the level 1 Chinese class I'm teaching is going to end in February so I'm gonna have to prep for the level 2 class and THEN prep and record my basic Korean classes. I'll tell y'all how it goes
- I have 100% grade but still missing classes for Pali Diploma and will have to make up a lot in the future. Thank god they don't grade attendances 😭
- I have a slight fever right now so I'm chugging Lipovitan-D to keep me going. I have a tarot session booked this afternon and a chinese class to teach so can't really rest Unfortunately :/ but Dimension 20 FHJY is helping me with my mood.
Anyways that's all! happy studying, y'all

Genuine question, how do people juggle multiple languages? I’m struggling to keep up with 1, let alone incorporate another. I really wanna learn and get better at Japanese, but I’ve badly wanted to learn more Chinese but don’t know how to juggle both. I also can’t do classes at the moment. Anyone have any tips?

El Festival del Medio Otoño es un día para que los amigos y la familia se reúnan, ofrezcan gracias por la cosecha de otoño y recen por una larga longevidad y buena fortuna.
Además, este festividad cae en luna llena, lo que hace que la gente adore a la luna llena.

First post
Hi there! My name is Hades. I made this blog to start documenting my studies into the Chinese language (and culture!) mostly because I feel like tumblr is a nice little archive I can use that has minimal social interaction.
I’m still pretty novice when it comes to Chinese but I’ve taken some courses at my university. I dropped out for the time being due to the pandemic but plan to continue my studies on my own time. I have other accounts with the same user and it’s in my carrd in my bio and I hope to find some study friends along the way! I look forward to posting on here. 谢谢!!

Hey guys, look at this chinese poem I found!
Hanzi:
施氏食狮史
石室诗士施氏, 嗜狮, 誓食十狮。
氏时时适市视狮。
十时, 适十狮适市。
是时,适施氏适市。
氏视是十狮, 恃失势,使是十狮逝世。
氏拾是十狮尸, 适石室。
石室湿,氏使侍拭石室。
石室拭, 氏始试食是十狮。
食时, 始识是十狮, 实十石狮尸。
试释是事。
Pinyin :
Shīshì shíshī shǐ
shíshì shī shì shī shì, shì shī, shì shíshí shī.
Shì shí shíshìshì shì shī.
Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì.
Shì shí, shì shī shì shì shì.
Shì shì shì shí shī, shì shī shì, shǐ shì shí shī shì shì.
Shì shíshì shí shī shī, shì shíshì.
Shíshì shī, shì shǐ shì shì shí shì.
Shí shì shì, shì shǐ shì shí shì shí shī.
Shí shí, shǐ shí shì shí shī, shí shí shí shī shī.
Shì shì shì shì.
English translation:
Shi's history of eating lions
Shi Shishi, a poet in the stone room, was fond of lions and swore to eat ten lions.
It is always appropriate to see the lion in the city.
At ten o'clock, the ten lions are suitable for the city.
It's time for Shishi's market.
Shi regarded the ten lions as ten lions, and lost his power, so that the ten lions died.
Shi Shi is ten lion corpses, suitable for stone chambers.
The stone room was wet, so the clergyman wiped the stone room.
The stone room was wiped, and Shi Shi first tried to eat ten lions.
When eating, the first consciousness is ten lions, which are actually ten stone lion corpses.
Explanation is a thing.

A growing body of research shows that authoritarian regimes can be responsive to ordinary citizens, but why is this the case?
Why do those in power expend any effort in dealing with citizens’ everyday complaints and demands when they face no pressure from electoral [editor's note: ruling party] competition?[...]
We tested whether responsiveness among local officials comes from bottom-up citizen engagement, from top-down oversight of government superiors, or from preferential treatment toward loyal supporters.
In our experiment, we made four types of requests asking for assistance in obtaining social welfare benefits on local government web forums and examined how differences in these requests affected government responses.
1: The baseline – a request to simply describe economic hardship.
2: Collective action request – an intention to take some undefined action with other people who face similar hardship if the government cannot help.
3: Tattling to superiors request – an intention to complain to upper levels of government if the government cannot help.
4: Party loyalist request – identification as a loyal, long-standing Party member.[...]
we find that the collective action requests and tattling to superiors requests generate higher levels of responsiveness from Chinese local governments than the simple description of economic hardship; however, the identification as a Party loyalist, does not increase responsiveness substantially. With the baseline request, we received responses from approximately one third of counties. To put this number in context, one third is higher than responsiveness of U.S. state legislators to constituents (~20%) but lower than the responsiveness among members the U.S. congress (~40%) on certain [sic] issues. Adding the intention of collective action and tattling to superiors both increase response rates by 8-10 percentage points.
The second finding is that the collective action requests, compared with other types of requests, made the local government respond in a more public manner.[...]
Third, we also find that local officials are more likely to provide pertinent and concrete information to citizens when receiving the collective action requests.[...]
these results show that top-down mechanisms of oversight as well as some forms of bottom-up pressure exerted by citizens can increase government responsiveness in this particular authoritarian context. Regardless of whether responsiveness derives from top-down mechanisms or bottom up pressures, citizen engagement seems to be consequential.
seems like an awful lot of words to explain this when "the Chinese Government is democratic" is just 5
