【2022年2月13日】 —好久不见— 【政治课】

试图了解中国的政治制度。在看过10段YouTube视频后，这其实没那么难哈哈～我试图把我的猫爪拿走，但最终在照片中接受了它 ♡(ﾐ ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣ ﻌ ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣ ﾐ)ﾉ

I’m trying to understand the Chinese political system - after 10 YouTube videos, it seems a bit easier, haha. I was surprised to learn that there are 8 parties besides the CCP in the National People’s Congress (NPC; 全国人民代表大会), most of them having “democracy” in their name (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) kekw

中文作业和我的中国猫（他其实不是中国猫，但他困的时候看起来有点像他来自中国哈哈）(๑ↀᆺↀ๑)

I haven’t written hanzi in at least half a year, so this was such a workout! My handwriting really suffered~ I’m starting my political economy of contemporary China class - I am scared. I don’t like politics nor economy (▰︶︹︺▰)

☕️ 【2021.9.17】 — 【课文作业】 ☕️

我最近开学了，但我不喜欢我们学习汉语的方式。我们每周要读两页，外加110页其他课程的英文科学文章。我认为这很难。我必须在时间管理方面做得更好 ⎰≀.⺤_⺤≀⎰ 实际上这是上周的作业，但我太累了，没法把它发出去。。_(:3 」∠)_

University recently started, and I’m already tired. Hope you guys have less work to do than me ah (｡´-д-) may the coffee gods keep us going ～

【2021.8.29】 — 【暑期作业】

今年我的笔迹受到了影响。。。真的难看哈哈哈

Last semester I purely used my computer during classes and for studying, because my only Chinese work was based on translation, which is faster on the computer. This semester I am determined to work hard and learn even more Chinese, practice and write down all the Chinese words. It will be very difficult, but I’m ready to work hard! I share this very ugly writing with you guys in hopes that I will improve and go back to my usual more pretty handwritting before the end of the semester.

This is some summer homework my teacher gave us if we wanted to practice…. In my head, I only remember how to use maybe 10-15 measure words correctly. A little embarrasing ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡

Question of the day: What is your guilty pleasure?

I like to binge Chinese dramas, but not any kind of drama, no. Period dramas with beautiful (accurate!) costumes and preferably with a headstrong lead, but sadly Chinese directors and writers like to make the girls either strong and brave (but still in need of a man, usually multiple men) or timid and “the damsel in distress”. There’s usually no in between those two personalities for the main female lead （πーπ）

哇啊啊朋友们，这个学期很难，没有空儿，每天看很多文章，读关于历史话题的非常有挑战性的文章。这周我们读了胡适的【建设的文学革命论】。其实我很喜欢这个挑战，我可以看到我所有的进步～希望你的学期开始也不错！

Waaa friends, the semester start is pretty difficult, there’s a lot of articles I have to read - both (advanced ಥ‿ಥ ) English & advanced Chinese. It’s very difficult, but also really rewarding to be able to read the Chinese. There’s a lot of focus on literature, especially post-New Culture Movement 新文化运动, which can be seen as the modern breakthrough in China. I’m thinking about posting some interesting points from my studies here in the near future, it would be cool to share my thoughts somewhere. I hope y’alls semester start is going good! Spring Festival is almost here! How exciting!

I did so well in my exams, I’m super happy about it hard work gets you places! Earn it!

我高兴极啦啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊

I feel like I’m doing nothing but studying right now haha. I finished my first exam, I think it went well. Now I’m studying a lot for my oral exam, which is a little complicated. I’m preparing sentences for all subjects I might draw. It’s really nervewrecking. I just have to continue working dilligently. 10 more days to go!

ActuellementetÉvidemmentne sont pas les mêmes choses qu’en anglais!

J’ai toujours pensé que le mot actuellement était comme actually en anglais, mais en réalité actuellement estcurrently, c’est-à-dire, maintenant!

Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, j’ai cru que éventuellement était le même truc qu’eventually, mais non!! Éventuellement est à dire queprobably, un synonyme de probablement!

Maintenant je me sens comme un enfant, j’ai appris français pour presque deux ans et juste maintenant j’ai réalisé ces choses

Bienvenue à mon nouveau langblr où j'essayai de mettre un au moins un billet chaque jour à propos du français, particulièrement le français canadien. C'est pour moi mais j'espère ça va t'aider aussi!
