Is there a local spot where Chinese ppl hangout? Maybe you can make some friends there maybe over Mahjong or Boardgames?

I had heard about the first one but never checked them it out and never heard of the others. I'm gonna take a look, thanks!
Been there. Happens a lot when there are several words in a row with Q, S, Z. Tongue eventually goes "Fuck this, I'm out".
Most of the Chinese social clubs back home and where I am now speak mostly cantonese instead of mandaring from what I've been able to tell.
That'll be a hard sell, lol.
Either it was Scholz declined going with Macron together, or it was Xi Jinping rejected that idea. I think it is more likely the later because only China can decide who to come, and China does not see EU as a equal entity, especially not a friendly one. Actually in China's eyes, EU institution is the leading entity in Europe's anti-China trend. A joint visit by Germany and France even without the name of EU is an EU thing.

Well, Tang poems (唐诗) sound better in Cantonese
Not really.
Turns out it is Biden and not Trump who wants to start a world war to hold on to power. WWIII Middle East Theatre and Pacific Theatre (Korea) starting soon?
It’s dirty, polluting water. So they outsourced to Asian countries.
The beauty of Pleco is that they also have audio capability so you have a synth/recorded voice say the words. They come in male and female version usually i try just mimic how that sounds and not really pay attention to the tones. Ooh yeah a more gamified way of learning Chinese is using the app Hello Chinese, its subscription based but i personally think its worth getting 3 months subs as a supplemental learning tool.
But learning Chinese is really frustrating, if it isn't part of your native language family, a partial blessing is that the Dutch language shares some sounds with Chinese which the english languages doesn't share like "u" or "ü". There is very little content for adults at HSK 1 and 2 levels. So i'm glad they are changing the HSK program for future students. HSK 1 will have 300 or so words, HSK 2 will have 1200 or so words. I think once you reached HSK 3 in the new program you should be able to at least watch something else then pepa pig level of bullshit.
ps: don't over do it with the tools because i had that problem before you know it you have tool/app/book overload. Not being able to progress for me i'm fine sticking to 3 tools max.
