佛系青少年: When Buddhism Becomes a Meme
佛系 is a popular internet phrase used amongst young people in China. Literally, 佛系refers to the Buddhist ideal of being at peace with whatever happens. Nowadays, it’s being used to indicate an attitude of defeatism, or giving up on goals. For instance, 佛系上课means to take a class but not really care whether or not you do well or learn anything. This kind of attitude has, of course, caused younger generations of Chinese to be critised. However, I think many of us will find 佛系 very relatable.
The character 打 in Chinese
Recently, a friend of mine who has been learning Chinese for quite some time came with a complaint (and several crying emoji).
“Why do you Chinese use 打 for every damn action??!”
Tbh, I think 打 just indicates what I am about to to do?? If a verb follows, the meaning is obvious. If a noun follows, then I want to get that or do the most obvious action with that.
EDIT 1: Totally forgot to mention that 打 means “to hit”! So the Chinese sure love to hit a lot of things hahaha^^
He also asked for all examples I could remember:
打车 to call a cab/taxi
打水/打饭 to get water/get food and bring it back, not to be confused with buying takeaway food
打电话/打手机 to call with phone / mobile
打牌 to play with cards
打伞 to hold an umbrella
打赌 to make a bet
打扫 to clean
打扰 to disturb
打官司 to engage in a lawsuit (to to sue)
打工 to do a job (usually temporary or just to earn money)
打字 to type
打球 to play with a ball
打印 to print
打包 to wrap sth up (for unfinished meals)
feel free to add things, or other funny/frustrating experiences!
edit 1: Don’t ever, I mean EVER use 打+airplane in public or private, because it’s rather NSFW. A friend learning Chinese was joking if calling a private jet is like calling a cab and used this combination.
All of the Chinese speakers: *awkward silence*
(It means male sexual self-gratification, at least in northern regions.)
How To Use Movies To Learn a Language
Greetings, Polyglots! I’m back with another post about how to use movies to learn languages!
I’ve noticed a trend among language learners. Especially among those learning English. Those who spoke English the most natural and fluently have all said that they frequently use movies to learn English. I’m telling you, it’s uncanny! I’ve taught English in three countries and in every country the most standout students have always said that they watched videos and movies for idioms and phrases. The result was almost always natural and fluent sounding English. So I began to wonder do movies work to help you learn a language and how do you watch a movie to learn a language anyway!? Movies are like an hour to two hours long! I don’t have the patience for that.
Movies can, however, help you learn languages in a more natural and casual way. Depending on the genre of the movie, you can learn some interesting vocabulary as well. Movies and television shows are very important for language learning, because they not only teach proper use of grammar and vocabulary, they also introduce you to the humor and culture of the people who’s language you’re studying. After only one or two weeks using movies learning Chinese, my casual Chinese has certainly improved and I have learned a few funny phrases to keep things light too. So how do you use movies to learn languages? Here’s how:

Looking for accounting/CPA studyblrs to follow
I’m about to start studying for the CPA exam, so I need all of the inspiration/motivation I can get 😭😂
Like/reblog this if that’s you!
I sure hope to see a vast improvement four years later lolol
So yesterday, I was asked why I was being a 電燈泡 (a lightbulb), planning a hang out with friends who are now dating each other. I didn’t know what it meant besides literally a light bulb so I had to look it up….and then busted a gut laughing at the slang definition. 😂
How could a cute little light bulb be a ‘third wheeler’? Cause when two people want some private time in somewhere dark, they totally can’t due to that light bulb shining on them! 😂
Hello fellow studyblrs! Does anyone have any task app/to do list app recs? Specifically with check box widget and subtasks and free (or under $3).
(I’ve checked out Any.do, Wunderlist, Todoist, My Effectiveness already. I’m currently using SolCalendar for tasks, and while adore the looks and to do widget, it’s however not good with subtasks and lags quite a bit now)
In case anyone's curious, I ended up finding the app Tick Tick. Its free version is pretty good and I've been using it for well over a year now. The thing that sold me is that it works well (glitches are rare) and automatically syncs well between the app and desktop version. Desktop version is handy for when you're sitting at work and don't want to use the phone lest others think you're slacking. At my previous job, this app was a lifesaver cause there was a ton of things needed to be done, some being important and time sensitive. (Occasionally I would end up reminding my boss about certain things that needs to be done that he had forgotten)

TC:湯圓 SC:汤圆 tāng yuán
Tangyuan, a homophone of and frequent metaphor for reunion (团圆 tuán yuán) is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour. It’s cooked and served in boiling water (Some will put brown sugar and ginger). Tangyuan can be either small or large, filled or unfilled, sweet or salty. They are traditionally eaten during the Lantern Festival (the 15th also the last day of Chinese New Year celebration) and the Chinese Winter Solstice Day (冬至).
Historically, a number of different names were used to refer to tangyuan. During the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, the name was officially settled as 元宵 yuán xiāo (derived from the 元宵节 Yuán xiāo jié , the Chinese name for Lantern Festival). Now the name “Yuanxiao” for this food is commonly used in northern China.
Traditional sweet fillings for tangyuan can be :
Black sesame paste - the most common filling
Red bean paste
Chopped and sugared peanuts, taros or yams.
Nowadays, both the fillings and glutinous rice coats are much more various in colors and flavors such as chocolate, green tea and many kinds of fruit flavors.
As this is comic provides an overly simplified suggestion, please note that everybody works differently and you may have to adjust these rules accordingly to your lifestyle! I tried to make it flexible enough to be applicable for every individual, tho I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface on how to arrange your day to day chores tbh, so I’m not sure if I’ll even keep this up for long? orz I hope this’ll at least help with understanding the general idea. Managing time for school work and your hobbies seem a bit daunting, but with a day planner, a weekly printout chart or even a little calendar you can filter out the unnecessary activities that are a distraction from accomplishing bigger things! Not too long ago I was working two jobs as a full time college student while trying to squeeze in art, it was tough, so I really had to pick and choose what was most important to me in order to give it my all! Also, please please please make time for sleep and take care of your health, above all things, no matter what! Check out these 20 quick tips, how to filter out unnecessary activities, and this time managing masterpost for additional resources!!
How to learn a language
Tips from a language major:
•When learning new vocabulary write the meaning in your language once and the new word at least three times
•If you are learning a new writing style (I.e. Hanzi, kanji, Sanskrit, etc.) write the character at least three times, the meaning and the pronunciation once. -do not write the pronunciation above the character, write it to the side, otherwise you won’t even try to read it. -Learn! Stroke! Order!
•when reviewing vocab try to use the word in a sentence.
•do not pay attention to the technicalities of the grammar. Do not attempt to compare it to your own language. This will seriously mess you up for 80 years. Just pay attention to the sentence structure and make similar sentences.
•if you are learning a tonal language (I.e Chinese) or language that has sounds that don’t exist in your language watch videos of people pronouncing things and try to match their mouth movements.
•if all else fails on your tones just speak quickly.
•watch TV shows in that language and yes watch them with subtitles. But please be aware that may not be how people speak in real life (I’m looking at you, Japanese/Chinese/Korean learners)
•DO NOT BE AFRIAD TO MAKE MISTAKES of you mess up during a sentence just correct yourself and keep going.
•flash cards, flash cards, flash cards. Real and digital.
•spend at least an hour a day on it (OUTSIDE of class), if you’re trying to learn on your own you’re gonna need more time.
•talk to yourself in that language, take notes in it, set your phone to it. You probably look crazy but that is a-ok.
•listen to music in that language, while it probably won’t do much for your ability in the beginning it will help you distinguish sounds once you get pretty good.
•and lastly, don’t give up. It took you like ten years to grasp your own language it’s gonna take awhile to grasp another.
-How I learned 2 ½ languages at once.

I made strawberry orange smoothie to give myself a boost. I think two of the several oranges are on the sour side, which is why the drink was deliciously tangy. @o@ I nearly drank the whole blender.
