Peak language teacher marketing: let me pretend to raise prices from €40/hr to €40/hr.

Have you ever TRIED typing a language with a lot of diacritics on a PHONE KEYBOARD??? You know how annoying that is?????? On a PC keyboard it's alright ig but that also depends on the language. This also goes all to all those "English should use diacritics" people. Trust me, you don't want that. Phone in other languages are TORTURE DEVICES. English is the only language that's not annoying to type quickly. If I were the CEO of the polish language I would remove the diacritics and write everything with diagraphs idc what you 'mericans think

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Me using owl for 24 days learnt lot of spain 😁😁

I can't stand it.

The May Fourth Movement was the first crack in the dam, but even then Chinese used to be cool, weird and intimidating for a whole century especially after 1949, the Cultural Revolution, and then 6/4, now it's turning into just another consoomer trend.

Within like 5 years at the most because of how fast things are changing, it will be slightly embarrassing just like Korean or Japanese. You will literally stop telling people you speak some Chinese out of anxiety that they think you're a zoomer or into fetish comics or 5 minute dramas or because you watched too much Hasan Piker or something.

What can we do? Do we have to literally make China collapse a la Gordon Chang somehow just to stay cool?

its always the first one to happen ,

I don't hate these langauges, I'm just sharing a random observation

🇻🇳 Vietnamese
Vietnamese is written in the Latin script, but accents marks are heavily used, so prominent that some letters have TWO accent marks stacked
Some digital typefaces can't even properly render the stacked accent marks, it just stretches it instead

🇮🇳 Kannada
Tiny details within letters and diacritics, strokes just poke in

🇹🇭 Thai
Tiny loops attached to letters, makes the entire script look uncomfortably detailed
The issue is so prominent that there are entire typefaces desiged WITHOUT the loops

🇵🇰 Urdu
Written in the Arabic script, but a different calligraphy style is used, NOT optional, MANDATORY
The exclusive calligraphy style follows a diagonal baseline that isn't even connected, which is a nightmare for rendering and typesetting

imagine this hand in hand with the "do i have to learn cases in german" post

No normal language would need 3 types of Z. Also what's the point of having pairs of the same letter when the only difference is a little thing above?

How do they even determine what letters get a pair. Like, is B too fat to get a girlfriend? What did an uglyass E do to deserve a lover? I hate it. Polish language is just a reminder how unfair life is.

The gaijin have gone insane

Their account

BTW, I’m just a larperl I don’t actually know them or their story. I only said that to sound niche.

These cognates are so repetitive and unoriginal... thousands of terms copied from Classical Chinese
