Japanese uses 3 writing scripts but how many does English use? Lisa's 2 recent mini episodes about typing and reading Japanese in these multiple scripts got me thinking really hard about this. Guess how many scripts we use in English? Did I miss any?
Have you ever written or read a language that has 3 scripts with different readings of them as well? Lisa has and was kind enough to describe how she navigates writing Japanese on mobile phones and computers. This is part 2 of a 2 part interview, because NaPodPoMo, see below for more info.

Do you learn languages better by focusing on reading first? Me too! Here is an overview of my parallel Mandarin Chinese studying while this month of mini interviews about the language is going on.
Do emotions transfer over into our other languages? Tanya Crossman returns to the Geopats Podcast to ponder/vent about the difficulties of expressing emotions and nuance in Mandarin Chinese. This episode is a collection of WeChat audio messages we left each other over the course of an evening last week.The total conversation was over an hour in audio length so I have a feeling might be back on the show later in November to keep going on this or another topic related to Mandarin Chinese.
Can you help me find a popular song from 2003-2004 in Asia? I hope so because I have not been able to find this song since I left Taiwan in 2004 and need to find it before leaving Mainland China in January 2020. I need music closure.
Does calligraphy relax you? Judging from the plethora of Chinese and Japanese ASMR videos on YouTube now, it seems like the answer is a yes for many people. It certainly does for our guest today, YouTuber Dakota of the Dakota Abroad, Language Learning and Dungeons and Dragons Channel. He has started a new series of Japanese ASMR videos and I just had to ask him all about it for this microepisode for NaPodPoMo.
What is happening on Geopats Podcast this month (November 2019)?
All month I will be doing a range of experimental micro episodes about language. The main focus, as usual in our language show, will be on Mandarin Chinese but I make zero promises to stick to one language. In fact, I fully expect that I will swerve towards and away from other languages throughout the month as well. This experimentation is part of National Podcast Posting Month, NaPodPoMo (it's international really but it started nationally in the U.S. many years ago so the name stuck) http://napodpomo.org/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/napodpomo/. Oh, and I will make reference to my language YouTube channel so here is that link as well https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClzR7HySZTVb6g-tSzAhi5A Geopats Podcast: Would love to hear from you!

Language in my first language(s) was a struggle for me growing up and I didn't realize how much those struggles transferred over to my second language learning until quite recently. This is my story on how I am taking these unique challenges into account and employing a slow language learning method to keep going with my Mandarin Chinese studies and practice.
Let's talk love with Podcaster Joshua Ogden-Davis of Mandarin Slang Guide Podcast. Josh has lived in China for about a decade and spent some time recently documenting these dating language gems from Mandarin Chinese for us.Thanks Josh, we don't think you are a "single dog!"
