In order: 1st one is just seeing if I have it memorized. Second one is fixing any errors. 3rd one is trying to make it sound more fluent.

Also listened to some Swedish, Spanish, and Korean podcasts today.

Reviewed previous speaking video where i practiced recall/speaking from speech prompt and noted mistakes.

Ran text through Papago audio phrase by phrase (what i was able to practice at a time) to practice mimicry. [Language_Korean_2024 > Movie on 4-18-24 at 8.05 PM.mov]

Then reread (correct) text directly from the book. Recorded myself. [Language_Korean_2024 > Movie on 4-21-24 at 12.54 PM]

Amazing pronunciation video. I already kinda do the denasalization (is also called nasal voice, but this is not a linguistic term) but I still had some confusion behind it. This helped a lot.

What Language Is Spoken In Taiwan? – StoryLearning

What language is spoken in Taiwan? Mandarin right? Well, yes and no. Taiwan is actually a fascinating patchwork of languages. Discover them

After reading this article and the previously posted one, my conclusion was to NOT study Mandarin if planning to visit Taiwan. I would go with Hokkien. (Me responding to: "If you plan to visit Taiwan, Mandarin is the language to know.")

Mandarin may be widely used, but Hokkien is the the native language that is ALSO WIDELY USED and is currently being threatened with less use.

Listed to Penang Hokkien podcast.. and sounded like there are more tones. There are. This article supports a total of 6 tones. So just two more than Mandarin.

note:

1 hr swedish podcasts: Lätt Svenska med Oskar(+30 min rev. lang pods)

40 min korean lesson in morning

considering adding more time in the evening for lesson tasks. basically want to get to at least one output task in lesson per day, bc so much input with podcasts and first step of lessons. OR just set 25 min timer for INPUT/definition part, then ECHO next ~30 min. Basically keep this up until you make it to a satisfying section (a dialogue or page). Then move to next output steps. This way output happens EVERY LESSON.

idk, has to be practical. and i still wanna read more.

Welp, i just added 3 hours of lang study by accident after my phone call today, so...
