Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 1/8/2023
Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
Morena all!
I'm sitting down to my breakfast of pepper with a bit of scrambled eggs on toast.
Are there any Te Reo or Mandarin speakers here?
I've been super hooked on ADV Podcasts and learning all about China, so now I have the urge to learn Mandarin.
I think I'll be having another downsize day where I try to declutter as much as I can, but it gets exponentially harder as I get closer to only having essentials.
What's everyone else up to?
I speak Mandarin, that's like my first language I suppose.
Cool, so there's definitely speakers around.
I wonder if there's a Taiwan instance..
I know there are a few te reo learners around, not sure about fluent speakers. You can probably find Mandarin night classes pretty easily.
I think when learning a language, having a class that you attend with others can really help with motivation. I did a couple of years of (mostly) in person classes of te reo, and once they stopped it was a lot harder to keep the motivation to continue learning.
