Prokrastination durch Sprachenstreberei :p

HAHAHAHHAHA
I just did the Transparent Language proficiency tests for German and English. I got 97% - 'intermediate' - for BOTH OF THEM.

...

Got two questions wrong in German, and one of them was a silly mistake which I may have picked up if I'd bothered to re-check my answers. Got one wrong in English, and that one ... not sure if I would've changed my answer. Maybe. Heh.

...OH HEYYY the Chinese proficiency test is in pinyin! I'm going to do that now
...shit. Problem = I don't know the intonation marks. I'm going to be guessing these so bad...
And omg I am so slow with this ;_;

Also, the questions for each test appear to be pretty similar and I think I may be using my knowledge of the subject matter of the German/English ones to help with the Chinese one ahahahha.

...so slowwww. I challenge any fellow Mando peeps to do the Chinese one :p

Also, I'm like saying each question/answer out loud and making weird hand motions to try and understand/answer these. Yes, I'm blogging a running commentary of my attempt at doing a Chinese language proficiency test. You shouldn't be surprised :p

Okay I think I just learned the intonation marks, just from attempting to decipher them in the quiz.

This is the most difficult/brain-power-expending thing I've done today, I think.

OMG Part III Chinese syntax = love ... okay maybe not love but it's a little less painful. I think.

WOOOOOO I could understand the first reading comprehension section relatively painlessly yayyy. ... And the second reading comp passage is terrible ... I ragequitted that and scrolled down to do another question and HOLY SHIZ the last few questions are in actual Chinese characters HAHAHAH DEATH.

...The difference between first reading comp passage and the rest, eurghhh.




FINALLY DONE
81%, Advanced Beginner level, wooo. And haha I blindly guessed one of the Chinese-character ones correctly. ...That was so strenuous.
