read 5 books in November
Untitled 3 years ago

So I’ve already devoured Wild Swans, My Antonia and The Castle of Otranto since Nov. 1. I’m working on Ficciones by Borges now, but when that’s done I have a bit of a dilemma: do I try to finish all of Jane Eyre in the time remaining, or do I try to find another English language book somewhere in China?

Learn to read Arabic
Untitled 3 years ago

I don’t speak Arabic, and I don’t feel a very very strong urge to focus on learning how to speak it; instead, I’m just fascinated by the different ways of writing languages. And it would be nice to already have the written form under my belt if I ever do want to learn to speak it…

learn how to read and write Zhuyin Fuhao
Untitled 3 years ago

I already know pinyin, but I’m annoyed by the fact that whenever I flip through a dictionary there are a whole bunch of “characters” that I don’t recognize: those are zhuyin fuhao, a form of Chinese phonetics even older than pinyin and used mostly in Taiwan and in mainland Chinese dictionaries.

It shouldn’t be toooooo tough…
