This Friday, we went to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate Chinese New Year. Having Chinese Food for the new year is an habit I developed years ago. The shrimp vegetable dish was really delicious.

Singing in Chinese : a whole new world
En français
I have been studying Chinese for a while now and I enjoy learning with music. Vloging is something I enjoy to but it always takes me several hours of intense work to record a song properly. I can't sing straight the first time, the music is never got enough, I take several recording 20, 30 times... I'm never happy with the result. And that's not even talking about putting the all thing together. Anyway, lucky you (if you don't die listening to me) I unexpectedly had a lot of free time on my hand.
So here is the best I could do for this sone. I hope you'll enjoy.
去看看這世界 神奇善良又美麗
放開心靈去接受另一種人生體驗
張開妳的雙眼 美景在眼前展現
與我一起遨遊天際造訪星辰明月
看這世界 擁抱著新的感覺
飛躍在雲間 在星月間 在妳我情誼之間
看這世界 惆悵寂寞曾占心田
有你在身邊 飛在天邊 淚水悲顏已化作為雲煙
在這嶄新的世界飛翔
去看看這世界 神奇善良又美麗
換個心情 人生到處充滿著新鲜
看這世界 張開妳的雙眼
擁抱這新的感覺 美景在眼前展現
飛躍在雲間 在星月間 在你我濃情蜜誼之間
看這世界 天南地北遨遊
在這嶄新的世界 散盡千萬般心情
有你在身邊 飛在天邊 淚水悲顏已化成雲煙
看這世界 看這世界
在你身邊 在你身邊
新的感覺 新的感覺
在你身邊 在你身邊

About learning : Screw the method
En français
I guess the title says it all, I got a little tired about learning languages. Not that I don't want to learn, just that I want to learn so bad that I just don't. I think I lost myself trying to apply other people's methods that seemed to work for them and possibly other people around but kind of flop for me. Not because they are bad methods, I think more because I was just doing things wrong because that didn't really match with my personality.
I think instead of trying so hard to get something their ways without actually getting the full grasp of it because I'm obviously just myself and not them, I should have got back a little bit and reread (my own crap) the first few posts of the "About learning" section of this blog.
I did learn 3 languages to fluency without having to read about any method before starting-even though two of them are probably starting to fail me due to lack of use but let's overestimate myself like every one else seem to do- so what the hell is wrong with me right now and why the hell don't I speak Japanese after almost one year here.
I can already here people saying that it's ok and that I'm just being too hard on myself. Sorry but screw that too.
I think I just want to speak so perfectly that I got scared and don't speak at all. Fact number 1.
I'm just too much thinking about how people are looking at me. That's a hard one to admit but Fact number 2.
I'm underestimated myself quite a bit, and it's hard to stop. Fact number 3.
But let's face it no matter how bad things turns out for some reasons I don't understand I still have some people calling me a genius at least once a week, no matter how wrong it sounds to me.
Now let's be back to my own shoes or should I say use my super powers and see how it goes.
There is no right method to learn a language because the method should be adapted to the language itself and to the culture behind it and to the person learning it. That's how I learned English mostly reading and watching Hollyoaks. I learned German taking classes in the morning and watching anime in the afternoon with the kids. I learned Italian just for the love of art as my teacher said.
So I just have to figure out what fits with Japanese and Chinese and I think that's not going to be too difficult. I just have to stop trying and let it flow. Let's get to work!
