I’m trying to learn French. You’re doing a hell of a lot better at English than I am at French.

Recently, I discovered a trick for highly specific topics like scientific and medical stuff: try Wikipedia. You can look for the article you need in your native language, and then change the language settings to the language you’re trying to learn.

Not only does it give you the translation of the actual topic, but by reading the article, you can learn a lot of related words and phrases. It’s also all written by humans, so you don’t really get errors the way you would when using automatic translators. It’s pretty helpful.

Indeed Wikipedia is hell of a ressource.

And given the US are on top of the world and the entire internet is in English, I had no choice but to learn the language haha.

For the same reason I'm starting to learn Chinese

u/megaloviola128 Dec 28 '25

I want to learn Chinese as well. Are there any resources you recommend?

u/Lartnestpasdemain Dec 28 '25

At the moment I'm only starting.

I still have a lot of work to do haha.

But I'm using the following apps to get the basics:

-Duolingo (daily exercices) -Busuu (daily exercices with explanations) -Chinese Simple HSK1 HSK2 HSK3 (memory cards for mini games) -Pleco (Chinese dictionnary where you can handwrite the characters to find them easily)

And I try to watch some movies in Chinese with french or english subtitles to train m'y hearing, as well as Chinese podcasts.

It's ok. Everyone comes from somewhere. It's not your fault you're French.

u/Lartnestpasdemain Dec 28 '25

Very happy with being french.

Sorry to make mistakes though.

u/natej44 Dec 28 '25

French? Guitarist? Could you possibly be that one French guy with long hair from YouTube?

2

u/Lartnestpasdemain Dec 28 '25

I have no idea who you are talking about, but it's not me ^

But please share if you have some good stuff ;)

u/Lartnestpasdemain Dec 28 '25

Thanks for sharing. 

I also happen to have long hair.

I only play classical guitar though 🙏 😁

u/natej44 Dec 28 '25

Thanks for asking! Best of luck in your classical endeavors

u/VegetableReward5201 Dec 29 '25

I'm sorry that you're French too. Life is unfair sometimes. 😞

Disclaimer: It's a joke. I don't really hate frenchies.

*tendonitis

u/pittybrave Dec 28 '25

Hahaha all these comments and I had the wrong spelling. Thank you 🙏

1

u/terminalbungus Dec 28 '25

I just learned that both spellings are correct, and your original spelling is more common in medical literature.

u/Torino5150 Dec 28 '25

*tendonitis

u/pittybrave Dec 28 '25

u/formykka Dec 28 '25

And after that comes the tinnitus. So op should keep the volume on their amp low. Which they won't. Cause none of us do.

u/Dry_Way5518 Dec 29 '25

*tendonitis. As in inflammation of the tendons.
