Language Marathon

I got several chances for an interview about my language learning recently. The topic varied from my experience of learning various languages to Esperanto and constructed languages. Besides, there were also chances for doing presentations to raise public awareness about language learning and to demonstrate how easy and fun it is for everyone.

Learn Chinese Mandarin with Cecilia Chen

A unique group of Chinese Indonesian: Why are they still able to converse fluently in Hokkien after most areas have been "Indonesianized"?

Before visiting Medan, Indonesia, like many non-Indonesians who have never visited Medan, I thought that the local Chinese were highly Indonesianized, just like other parts of Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung. Therefore, when I visited Medan for the first time in 2009, I was deeply surprised by the fact that most of the local Chinese, including children, speak fluent Hokkien, as Hokkien is also my father's native dialect.

9 Multilingual News Websites For Reading Practice

Learners learn languages in many different ways, such as attending language classes, playing games, or listening to audio. Whatever the methods are, they usually cover four aspects of language learning: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Mastering only one or two of these is not enough because, in reality, we read, listen, speak, and write.

Languages in my daily life

It takes dedication, effort, and time to learn a language but it takes even more to maintain the language skill. Once you have reached the first milestone in your learning journey, in the beginning, you would feel the excitement and joy of accomplishment but the more you know the language, the learning progress seems to improve slowly, and the excitement you used to feel won’t be that strong anymore. That is when you should know that you are already in the maintenance phase of language learning.

Ways to Encourage Development of Language Learning in Children

Encouraging language learning in children can be a daunting task. There are many ways to do this, and no one way is better than the other. The best way to encourage language learning in children is to find what works for them and make it a part of their everyday lives. Children learn best when they are given opportunities to use language in a variety of contexts and with a variety of people, and they are most likely to practice and learn new words with friends' help while playing various vocabulary games, online scrabble solver games, and other games. This can be done through regular exposure to new vocabulary and phrases, as well as by exposing children to diverse cultures and languages. In order to help your child develop these skills, provide them with plenty of opportunities to use their language, both at home and outside the home.

My Language Background

Many friends asked me about how many languages I know. I was born in Medan, Indonesia. Luckily, Indonesia is a diverse country and so does Medan. You can find the diversity of Medan in almost anything, such as ethnicity, culture, language, culinary.

The Great Language Game

I came across The Great Language Game from a social media from a polyglot that I follow. It is a language game. Players are shown with an audio recording and choices of language for the players to choose. According to the About page, these audio recordings are snippets of news from SBS Australia .

6 Local Writing Systems in Indonesia

Indonesia is a vast country in Southeast Asia that anyone can recognize easily on the map because it borders the sea, thus its country border is also the sea border. Hundreds of ethnic groups and languages exist in Indonesia. Despite having numerous writing systems, the government recognizes the Latin alphabet as the official writing system, which was introduced during the colonization by the Europeans.

Guest Post: Four Mistranslations which Changed the Course of History

“I will bury you”, says Nikita Khrushchev When millions of people speak different languages, miscommunication is going to be inevitable. Translators, who we solely rely on, are human so are going to occasionally make mistakes. Here are four of the most famous blunders in translation history:

Nauruan Language

The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has held a two-day event promoting the Asia-Pacific culture in the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei City, on September 28-29th. The participants come from the Solomon Islands, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Vietnam, Tuvalu, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Palau, Nauru, Malaysia, Kiribati, Japan, Indonesia, India, Fiji, and Brunei. Apart from performing dances from each of the countries, the participants also displayed a wide variety of handicrafts and artworks as well as authentic cuisine on each country's booth.

Language Discussion with Lingspark

One of my amazing polyglot friends, Sal from Sweden, invited me to have a discussion to talk about how we take control of our language learning. During the 30-minute discussion, we covered various issues, from using apps to living overseas. Besides, we also shared our learning Mandarin experience since both of us are not native Mandarin speakers. Sal lived in Taiwan for some time, while I remain in Taiwan since 2008.
