I want to get into Wuxia fiction, but reading wuxia novels in Chinese feels daunting, so I thought I’d start with a game, thinking it’d be easier. I tried Where Winds Meet, and this game is incredible!

But it’s really hard to play in Chinese, there’s so many menus and things to do, so I’m making a glossary of terms like region names, martial arts and inner ways, name of quests and collectibles, etc.

Most of the time I don’t know what I’m doing, but the game is stunning

While doing Anki today, I realised I was mixing up two characters, 惶 and 慌, because their meaning and pronunciations are close. No wonder I couldn’t remember the correct tone for any of them.

I use a hint field in Anki for this kind of situation, it’s the best way for me to finally get them right… and I post it here to make it stick even more.

Dessa två ord jag lär mig på Kinesiska driver mig till vansinne:
睫毛 jié mao (ögonfransar)
眉毛 méi máo (ögonbryn)

Notera att båda:
- har med ögonen att göra
- slutar på 毛 (betyder typ hår/päls/frans/lurv)
Men i ena fallet läses 毛 med neutral/femte ton (mao), i andra fallet med stigande/andra ton (máo).

Livet är så svårt ibland.

I always tend to mix up words that I learn at the same time if they have similar pronunciations.

It happened before with 遭逢 zāoféng (meet with, come across) and 交锋 jiāofēng (clash, confront). Pronunciation is not even that similar, but I’m having such a hard time with those two!

And now the same happens with 心虚 xīnxū (be afraid of being found out) and 心绪 xīnxù (state of mind).

The problem is that once I start mixing them up, it gets worse and worse. The only way is to use hints in Anki.

My fortune for the day at Nasha Town was: 海蛇翻腾，风暴肆虐

海蛇 hǎishé: sea snake
翻腾 fānteng: roil, thrash, churn
风暴 fēngbào: storm
肆虐 sìnüè: wreak havoc, devastate

The sea serpent thrashes, the storm wreaks havoc. In other words, no matter what I do I will run into obstacles… 😱 I have so many things to do today, what am I going to do??
