Welcome back to chinese zero to hero, this is Jon. Just to give you an update... recently i've been
working on this language learning site, where you can learn any language in the world, basically,
by navigating to different areas of the map. For example, let's say, Turkish.
This is the language of Turkey... You can watch any Turkish TV shows you want,
and the subtitles ... The subtitles, you can just hover over any Turkish word and get a definition.
"master" efendi... You can go to the dictionary
go to phrasebooks and then go through some common turkish phrases, for example tamam is okay
it's searching through the videos
and then you can go back to the world map and just learn any language you want
of course you can learn chinese that's what we specialize in you can also learn korean
you can watch korean dramas, listen to korean pop, kpop
all right so here you can look up definitions of korean words and these words are reverse
conjugated so it looks up the conjugated form and gives you the dictionary form so you can actually
look at what these words mean like connect means to speak to a person or address or to give up to
get your words out of your mouth basically let's go back to the world map you can go to any region
in the world even even like smaller languages like the dialects of china you know you can learn these
however resources for these are more limited let's go to another big language let's go to hindi
and let's look at what we have for hindi some shows oh what's this it's like a movie i think
right so the same thing you can look up words like this
right you can hover over the words and get a definition
okay like this and then let's check out hindi music the same thing
so this box above right here this box above it's a random player that helps you
discover content below so the content is actually here below below the video but
this video box is just randomly playing all the clips from below so that you can discover them
let's open it up
if you can't read hindi what you can do is you can go to settings
and turn on romanization above words it's like pinyin for hindi and then you get these
then you get either ipa or romanization above the words
so now you can read
eventually when you get used to the alphabet you can just get rid of the romanization by turning
this off the same feature is available for any any scripts that's non-latin non-cyrillic so you can
for example if you want to go to japan let's go to japanese and let's check a talk
let's do a let's do this archive i guess it's film archive
this is a japanese invasion of manchuria
so this is i guess it's made in second world war when they were invading china doing all
these horrible things uh and then this is a documentary that they made at the time
is convenient so again this is uh difficult for you to read but you can go back to settings
and you can click on show furigana above words and then
okay so now now it's much easier to read if you if you know furigana but not kanji
maybe maybe there's something more light-hearted let's check uh
the reaction video
or maybe we can just watch an anime uh let's just watch an anime like netflix anime
this these are uploaded by netflix as a trailer i guess or as a sample
is like feeling again you can go back to the world map and navigate to let's go to java island
and let's learn javanese japanese we can go to videos oh oh i picked the wrong language
make sure that you zoom in and click on the right language
let's go to music listen to some japanese music
cool so this is alan walker's faded in javanese let's listen to this rendition
again you can hover over words and get a definition but this dictionary is much
smaller so it's not working as well as other dictionaries let's see how big this dictionary is
uh 1700 words so that's not very big let's see what words we have for japanese
okay northeast so that's not bad oh i see so they have words in different scripts
i see that's that's why and plus we don't have a lot of content because this is the language
in indonesia and indonesia is much bigger let's check content for indonesian and see yes sundanese
is also another language on java island let's try indonesian and i think in for indonesian we must
have a lot a lot more content where is indonesia you can find if you cannot find indonesian you
can just type it here indonesian and it will direct you there okay right there indonesian
let's go to a tv show
there you can watch indonesian tv show
here you the dictionary works a lot better
just because uh we have a lot a lot more words in the dictionary right
etc
yeah you can use these features you can slow it down or speed it up like this or you can go to the
next line and previous line like this etc or you can just go to dictionary and uh go to different
phrase books and learn these basic phrases for example bernard is very or or correct
oh and no no it's found too bad let's try a different one
tv phrases let's try bernard here maybe
where's bernard okay right here so this is the the other facebook was searching through the music
and it it's not uh finding it but here it's searching through tv shows and we have it wow
yeah so you can use these features for any language right you have
different tv shows music talks live tv even you can watch indonesian live tv
stock prices or you can go go back to the world map and navigate to any
any area of the world really arabic europe lots of languages around europe you can learn them
right have added content for most of the major languages of europe uh if you want to learn
say esperanto no prop no problem we have it uh if you want to learn breton where's britain
read oh it's here breton 210 000 speakers you can listen to some rat music
and learn britain
anyhow so that's what i've been working on and hopefully you guys love languages too
