What have you been reading this week? [June 26-July 2, 2023]
  • I just started reading P. Djeli Clark's A Master of Djinn but I'm not far enough in to know if I'll really like it. So far so good, though.

  • Lemmy.World Introduction Thread
  • Oh that's tough. I've only recently started watching anime in the last couple of years so I don't have much to draw from, but I really like HunterXHunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, Way of the Househusband, and the new Gundam Witch from Mercury.

  • "Assume the role of a Chinese immigrant"? 没问题.
  • I don't think it's 嗎, looks more like 吧 to me, which also has question like properties. But you're definitely right about the question mark not being included until much later. The character alone says it's a question.

  • Blupee admiring a Star Fragment
  • Wow that's super cute, I had no idea they even did that

  • Lemmy.World Introduction Thread
  • Hello, I'm an English teacher! Originally from America but I live in Taiwan now. I spend my free time playing video games, reading books, writing stories, and watching anime.

  • Am I the only one that feels lemmy is boring?
  • This a thousand times. I mainly lurked on Reddit and I'm trying to actually contribute here. Sometimes I fear that no one will care what I have to say, but someone needs to start the conversation.

  • 2023 Taipei International Dragon Boat Championships
  • Very excited to experience this for the first time, but I'll be enjoying it in Tainan. I'm going to eat so much 粽子

  • What are you currently reading, and general thoughts so far?
  • City of Beasts by Isabel Allende. Didn't realize it was for young adults until after I bought it, but it's pretty good so far!

  • Elder Scrolls is Great for Learning a Language!
  • I haven't done this, but this is a great idea! I'm desperately trying to learn Chinese while I live in Taiwan. Next time I open Skyrim I'll have to see if they have an option for traditional Chinese characters.

  • Let's not have global Lemmy default to US (or some region)
  • Thanks. Not sure why I typed that lol

  • Let's not have global Lemmy default to US (or some region)
  • It's actually closer to 1.5 billion TOTAL speakers of English. Most English speaking people learned it as a second language.

    Edit: billion not million

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Elementary Mandarin Chinese with traditional characters. Who wants to learn with me?

  • Skywind is now also on Lemmy!
  • I've been waiting for this for so long, but I'll wait as long as I need to for it to be finished! I've never really played through Morrowind so it will be a brand new adventure for me.

    My cat Mittens is more photogenic than I'll ever be

    Some books I picked up while traveling
  • Battle Royale and Lord of the Rings are some pretty solid choices. Happy reading!

  • Weebs of Lemmy, What's your favourite anime?
  • Fair enough, it's definitely not for everyone. I think that's also before the Chimera Ant arc, which is the point at which the anime becomes incredibly dark and changes tone.

  • Yahaha - You found my wife stained glass shop!
  • These are incredibly cool! I don't have the funds for one now but I've put one in my Etsy cart and will buy it when I get paid.

  • Weebs of Lemmy, What's your favourite anime?
  • Hunter x Hunter, Way of the househusband, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Fullmetal Alchemist, both the original and Brotherhood

  • I do declare
  • There may or may not be but definitely is a mutiny happening

  • Introduce Yourself!
  • Hello! You can just call me Gone. (They/them)

    I'm in my thirties and have been living in Taiwan for about five and a half months after living in the US for all my life. I teach English but will probably move back to America at the end of January next year. My goal when I get back is to teach English to immigrants in the US.

    Lately I've been trying to learn Mandarin Chinese so I can speak with the people around me (also it's just a cool language) and watching all the anime that Netflix has in Taiwan. I like doing outdoor activities like going for walks and shorts hikes.

    As for music I've mostly been listening to music in Mandarin, since it's helping me learn the language. Astro Bunny, Good Band and Shadow Project have been my go-tos.
