sino-xenic language party

I'm more interested in the cool characters than the languages, so I'm learning mandarin/korean/japanese all at once. I feel like there should be some way to write western languages with them, that'd be fun.

I am learning Korean but I haven't found great resources on Hanja, so I have ended up using alot of things meant for Kanji and Hanzi to supplement my studying. I'm probably going to end up with some passive Japanese vocabulary this way or just become better at guessing the Japanese version of a Sino-Korean word.

>I feel like there should be some way to write western languages with them, that'd be fun.

Somebody has tried to make this for a language I speak, I bet there are some madmen who have done it for a few of the major Yuro languages already if you look around. Just guessing though.

For hanja I've been using an anki deck and an android app called korean vocab, obviously not as much stuff as Kanji and Hanzi but that's a given since you barely need it.

>since you barely need it

True if you speak Korean natively, but in my case at least it helps me learn and remember vocabulary way faster and more easily when I know the meaning of the associated Hanja, it cuts down on uncertainty and makes me partially able to guess word meanings.

In use in the actual language though, obviously people aren't writing out the actual character...

I use Memrise usually, I'm too pleb to stick with Anki

what for? they use even less grammatical particles than japs and have more homophones than japs

chinese texts written in hiragana would be impossible to decipher

For foreign words

>>68340484
Interesting note, the Japanese tried to figure out a way to use characters in their language, the result was the need for syllableries to write the parts of Japanese that are grammatical.

With English, for instance, you could use "说" for "talk", but we would have to write "说ed" for "talked".

katakana is cancer remove this filth

stop this I said
start using Jap words again instead of calling a fucking table テーブル

>>68341479
Your argument is fine for common words but what about brands or foreign people's names?

Chinese usually butchers those.

>>68340438
I'm just leisurely going through kanji in anki every day. Looking at the statistics I should apparently know about 3k of them by now.
Seems to be going alright, and it gives me something productive to do when taking a shit.

>>68341600
I'm sure you can read 3000, but can you write them?
That takes actual practice.

>>68341572
there was this case study according to which the Chinese prefer to buy those foreign products of which the characters used to transliterate their original name sound cool in Chinese

for example some French wine written in Chinese as "Awesome Dragon" sells better than a seemingly better wine called "Decay" in Chinese

>>68341626
And that's why it's better to have a neutral syllabary that's free of semantics for that.

>>68341619
Not a chance. I'm only focused on reading it anyway. And even if I were to write something I'd do it on a computer so I'd still be ok.

Fuck writing 2bh.
