red pill: it's gonna take you quite a while, but it's doable

2017-05-19 17:52:54 UTC  

I'm a heritage cantonese spaker but we don't write the same way we speak

2017-05-19 17:53:06 UTC  

written is basically just mandarin with a few differences

2017-05-19 17:53:43 UTC  

after 6 months, I sort of get it now

2017-05-19 17:54:42 UTC  

if i would go for autism and start learining chinese should i go for simplified or traditional

2017-05-19 17:54:45 UTC  

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

2017-05-19 17:54:48 UTC  

traditional

2017-05-19 17:55:01 UTC  

traditional is definitely the one to learn for the autism

2017-05-19 17:55:22 UTC  

atleast this would be putting my autism for good use <:thonk:288060975775612929>

2017-05-19 17:55:32 UTC  

you'll pick up on differences between simp and trad as you go along

2017-05-19 17:55:54 UTC  

simp is basically trad with missing parts, to put it very simply

2017-05-19 17:58:08 UTC  

I'd still go for trad for the aesthetic

2017-05-19 17:58:22 UTC  

<:thonk:288060975775612929> so kinda like texting chinese

2017-05-19 17:58:33 UTC  

when youre just 2lazy

2017-05-19 18:00:02 UTC  

I don't get why you'd ever learn just simplified

2017-05-19 18:00:22 UTC  

maybe its cause I'm more partial to taiwan

2017-05-19 18:00:23 UTC  

only reason I'd learn it is if I had to write it by hand

2017-05-19 18:00:42 UTC  

but I mean really its just mao's attempt at cultural cleansing

2017-05-19 18:01:15 UTC  

traditional might even be easier to learn cause you have the meanings of the different parts

2017-05-19 18:01:44 UTC  

to be fair, I think there was an effort to push for simplification during the ROC era but it just failed

2017-05-19 18:01:55 UTC  

still, I prefer trad

2017-05-19 18:12:11 UTC  

Anyone else get stabbed in China?

2017-05-19 18:14:18 UTC
