Guest Post: 6 Unexpected Techniques to Memorize New Phrases

Memorizing stuff is hard for lots of different people, and the weird thing is that it works different ways for different people. Some can remember strings of numbers, others can remember faces, and others can remember the intimate details of events. If you are unlucky, then you may have trouble memorizing new phrases, so here are a few techniques to help you. These techniques will help you learn new words in English, and will help you learn new words and phrases in another language.

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.

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 .

Guest Post: How to Use Translation to go from Online Student to Online Entrepreneur

As we get pressed into the new normal, more people are working online, living online, playing online and even shopping online. What people do not tell you, is that if you can learn online, if you can shop online and if you can even work online, it means you have what it takes to move from being an online student to being an online entrepreneur. No, this is not a get rich quick scheme and the truth is, working to build any business is challenging.

The Beauty of Chinese Character

People who have studied Chinese must realize that Chinese character is not just a character, but it is also an art. Every stroke in the character forms a beautiful combination of a meaning. It is said that Chinese character evolves from time to time based on the actual object. Although I cannot say that it is 100% true, there are books about Chinese pictogram. For example, you can see below how "sun" and "moon" was written in the past and the evolution of it until nowadays. Characters 日 and 月, on far right, are the characters used today.

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.

Indonesian language from Medan city

If you learn standard Indonesian, you may encounter funny moments when you speak Indonesian in Medan. People from my hometown, Medan city, speak Indonesian with their own style. This has become the unique characteristic of Medan and its people.

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.

4 Interesting Conlangs

You may have read that there are more than 7,000 languages around the world, and many are endangered, so why bother creating languages? I am not a big fan of constructed language (conlang) but I have encountered several conlangs that I find interesting.

My sign language experience

Sign languages have caught my attention seriously after the Polyglot Gathering and Polyglot Conference. I was amazed to know a handful of people who know sign languages. I began to investigate sign languages because I knew almost nothing about them. My knowledge was so little, I could just wonder how people communicate in sign languages.
