What’s the most pretentious thing you’ve done that gives you a sense of superiority over other language learners?
I absolutely hated being one of those dumb-dumbs that had to hand write characters they don’t know how to read. The thought of having to swipe my phone screen 22 times to find out the pronunciation of 懿 is honestly so embarrassing. Fully grown adults looking like toddlers playing candy crush. So I spent a few days teaching myself the Cangjie input method and never looked back. Three little taps on 土廿戈 and I’ve already found it. Pure elegance! At a push, I will use the stroke input method, but you will never catch me using 手写 again.
