Some RP Language Study Group?!
Hello! This might be a weird wanted-ad, but here's to hoping I find some people. Look at me trying to find smtg niche in another niche hobby, hahahahahaha. Looking for: (near) intermediate Mandarin or Japanese learners to write with who are also interested to write some Xianxia/Wuxia setting! ... Though the latter isn't a must, more on that later. Anyway! Since this is entirely for learning purposes, I'd like to explicitly mention that I'm not looking for total beginners or (near) native speakers! This is simply so that I (or we) don't end up blinding people with grammatical errors... I've already done that to the RPC when I was 12 with my english so hehe. Also because: since we're learning, I think most of us are afraid of making mistakes, so... hopefully, by encouraging mistakes, we also encourage more practice. For more info about my level (as well as the expected proficiency): My JP right now is somewhere around N3, trying to claw towards N1 by this year. If you take JLPT, then you should also notice by now that they don't prepare us to write/speak... so this is an effort to fix that hole, ya! My joke thought is how we can ttly practice keigo, but with an RP scenario so it's less cumbersome, more fun (oh my god i hate it though) Currently taking a speaking-only JP class, but will 100% regress to caveman-speak when panicking. Reading level is about 'Ascendance of the Bookworm'. For CN, I'm too lazy to get myself certified but I can speak it fluently as long as you don't throw business terms in. I'm working on my reading right now, and 瞎娘娘 seems to be about my level. Still have to poke at words 30% of the time for their pinyin though. For both languages, I'm mainly frustrated by how I'm able to read/understand but when it comes to writing a story? Blanking out. The stuff I learned flew away. So this is to partially fix that, yah! -- If you're already a serious learner but just not near intermediate, I think it should still be fine! Hopefully we still get to write a simple coffee shop thread but if not, if there's enough people, then it can be some cool study discord group? Looove those. More on the platform and general muse: The platform will be on private (semi) sandbox JCINK/Discord depending on how things go! My muse right now is currently anything eastern(chinese)-themed, but it's not a hard must. I also tend to gravitate towards MxM or FxF as long as there's a healthy dose of angst and toxicity building the ship(preferably perpetuated by both parties! so there's room for growing for both ykyk!!). Friendship/Family plots are also my jam, but I've not had much luck regarding those. I also have a few specific muse? Like a lazy shopkeeper, belligerent warrioress from a previous war, stuff like that! Generally, not picky! ATM, there is a plot/worldbuilding already written out, but it's not necessary to use it? So think sandbox in the worst(? best?) case scenario! We can do both anyway o3o Before this gets too long, if this interests you, please send me a private message on this account! Though I'll answer anything anywhere if you need more info 0v0b No people limit for this rn because the more the merrier, and I don't think I'm going to find many with such a specific condition... Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm asking PP instead of some language forum, it's the same answer as why I won't introduce my twitter fan account to any of my fb contacts. :yikes: Thank you for reading!!  |
