      honestly, it's pretty bad LOL. I haven't been able to study chinese in awhile because of PhD. I'm just getting back into it now, but studying the chinese show Link Click (which I highly recommend). but I've definitely regressed in the last year l o l.

    It'd be cool if you make a video that relates to neuroscience and how it relates to language. My friend since she started learning Japanese said she felt like she was developing another persona/personality!

      I'm definitely planning on making a video about that! requires me looking into another field though, so I'm gonna take some time to look at the literature and get accurate information! my plan is to make neuroscience videos about various aspects of language learning!

      @bianca.phdinprogress its been 9 months. Good to see yoi back. I see you are doing a PhD
      Excuse me, my english is not good
      My question is, we have been researching a cure for dementia for years and still have no success. What are your thoughts on the conspiracy theories that say that a cure is deliberately being delayed for years so the billions of dollars of business can be run as why would anybody spend money if its cured onec and for all
      As far as i know demantia is a complex possess so "cure" might not be an appropriate word choice

    Thank you for all your tips. I am going to be using the HSK 1 standard test to structure my grammar and dialogue readings, I plan to use anki for flash cards, and I’m curious if you know much about pimsleur!? I have been using the hello Chinese app to work on pronunciation but curious which would be best for nailing down correct pronunciation and reinforcing speaking/listening.

    • @bianca.phdinprogress
      @bianca.phdinprogress  10 місяців тому

      I haven't used pimsleur but I have heard good things about it, for the romance languages at least. unsure about its useful for mandarin. here's a great video about someone who uses it regularly though!

      I learned a bit of Japanese for a vacation I took last year, but the different alphabets actually killed me. I may have gripes about chinese, but man, do I appreciate characters when looking at all the japanese alphabets HAHA. I understand everything in Romanian, but my speaking has a HUGE American accent LOL. I also have a more limited vocabulary, since I went to school in America. I never learned the sophisticated and specialized vocabulaty in Romanian that enable you to sound eloquent.

      I stopped the japanese lessons for a while - even though after over 20 years of watching animes I understand at least 50-60% japanese. I can also read katakana and hiragana ( although much slower now).
      I'm glad you didn't forget romanian. For some reason I see more and more people interesting learning it. Which is cool.

      l o l the pattern is do I have time, which usually is nope. LOL. Also, it's hard to make videos on a language learning channel when you barely have time to learn a language riperoni.

    So is HSK 9 the last level now?

    • @bianca.phdinprogress
      @bianca.phdinprogress  10 місяців тому

      HSK7-HSK9 are technically the "last levels". when you take the HSK3.0 exam, you just take the advanced exam, and based on how well you do, you'll be graded either HSK7, 8, or 9.
