11·6 days agoThe closest was probably the guy who invented the Korean alphabet. Dude looked at the scribes and scholars struggling to fit Chinese characters to a language they don’t mesh with at all in terms of phonetics and grammar and said “fine, I’ll do it myself”.

2·7 days agoI mean those are already halfway to vowels. In Japanese, “N” can be its own syllable.

Until then, thank you for posting stuff I can genuinely relate to and start conversations about. Even though that’s probably not a sign of good mental health.
I used to actually be more fluent in English and russian than Ukrainian until the 2022 invasion. Lots of people in Kyiv used russian for day to day conversation, and that, sadly, included my friend group. At the moment I think I’ve restored my fluency in Ukrainian, but I still sometimes have easier time finding the correct word in English.
As for my fluency in English, I can usually watch shows, play games and read books in it without any issues, tho at times subtitles help (like when parsing an accent I’m unfamiliar with).
