Adrianna TanThis is a fascinating ‘problem others think exists but I never knew’. Apparently people who don’t speak tonal languages think it is extremely hard to sing in a tonal language. I mean, I listen to music in at least 3 tonal languages and have never had a problem discerning tones.

Gos Salsitxa<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/langHangout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#langHangout</a> Q2: What is your main goal when learning languages?My answer: I only learn languages for fun. I know I will probably never get to use them in a conversation, and that's okay. What bring me most joy is to be able to consume content in new languages, especially books, series and podcasts. So in my learning, I focus on comprehension. My main goal is to be able to pick up any book in my target language, and read it without looking up any words.How about you? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languages</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/langtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#langtoot</a>

Adrianna TanSome more thoughts on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aphantasia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphantasia</a> and language. So, I don’t have visuals in my brain at all (I cannot picture my wife, or my parents, even if I try). I always thought when people said they were thinking about me, that it was in the same abstract sense that I think. Somehow; this also means that my language skills are over-developed. I basically think in chunks of text. I was talking to a coworker about how she feels she needs to translate her spoken thoughts or words into written words, whereas I have the opposite problem. I used to have great difficulty translating my thoughts into speech. They come out as fully formed.. essays. And that is how I write. And why I struggled with public speaking, or speaking, for a very long time. My thoughts are verbose texts and abstract concepts. I can write large chunks of texts quickly because I ‘see’ and ‘feel’ language in that way. As a not-visual learner; mind maps confuse me: but I can scan complex academic texts and speed read and digest text very quickly. This somehow doesn’t work with non-Latin languages. I have great verbal hearing (I can ‘hear’ and understand almost all Asian languages quickly to a fairly high level) but even though Mandarin is my primary other language perhaps because of the graphical nature of it, I can’t ’perceive’ or ‘feel’ it as well when I read. My Mandarin reading is probably closer to how people read, in general. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a>
