just the idea of being illiterate grosses me out
I moved from Hong Kong when I was 9. I studied traditional chinese characters in primary school and cantonese at home. I've forgotten a lot of chinese since moving here.
Nowadays, there are times when I'm reading a chinese passage and I have no idea how to pronounce half the words, yet I understand perfectly what they all mean.
I don't know what you'd call that.
- celebril 13y agoThere's a certain beauty in the ideograph system: you may not know how to pronounce the characters, but you could figure out a meaning out of it.
