I watched The Wild Robot and it was kino

I've been reading The Great Gatsby, cause it is on the list of the Rory Gilmore Challenge, but I'm felling very frustrated cause for me, the book is too boring, like, I could't care less about that rich people drama.
I hate when I watch or read some classic stuff and don't like it, it fells like I'm dumb, and don't know how to appreciate art.

Welp, guess I’ll just look like I’m not good enough for their precious wittle boy

But if you were say… reading a menu in china? What if you were trying to survive on the street? Could you read grocery store? Could you read police station? Also I mean if the words are rearranged in a sentance couldn't you still make out the meaning most of the time? I know chinese syntax is very similar to english.

> What if you were trying to survive on the street?
You might be able to read signs and understand enough words to make transactions. If you had to talk to people you probably couldn't understand them at all.
> menu in china
You could probably read menu items
> grocery store
I looked up the chinese word for grocery store (杂货店) and I couldn't read it beacause it used chinese characters that aren't used in japan (Specifically 杂 and 货 don't show up in my japanese dictionary). After looking them up in a chinese-english dictionary 货 is a simplified form of 貨 which I do know, and 杂 is a simplified form of 雜 which I know. I know the japanese word 雑貨店 (which means general store) but I wouldn't have known 杂货店 was a simplified spelling of the same word.
> what about police station
The chinese word for police station "警察局" I could understand because the japanese word for police is "警察" and "局" is the kanji for office.
> Also I mean if the words are rearranged in a sentance couldn't you still make out the meaning most of the time? I know chinese syntax is very similar to english.
I don't know much about chinese but I'm pretty sure the grammatical words (called particles) are written in kanji whereas the gramatical words are written in kana in Japanese. So I don't know any of the chinese particles.

Japanese mainly uses kanji for nouns and verbs, and uses kana for grammar. So learning Japanese will help you with learning verbs and nouns but not so much with grammar. If you went out of your way to study chinese particles you could probably somewhat understand sentences.

> Also I mean if the words are rearranged in a sentance couldn't you still make out the meaning most of the time?
It depends on the size of the sentence. The larger the sentence gets, the harder it becomes to guess the meaning. For instance "She pet the dog" would be fairly easy to read, but a sentence like "The owner of the manor will accompany you to the Sunday afternoon meeting if you allow her daughter to join your son's sleepover on Saturday next week" requires a good grasp of English grammar, and would be extremely hard to decipher if you didn't know any of the English Post too long.

there are only like 2000 you need to actually memorize. trust me its actually easy- you've memorized much more than 2000 things in your life, haven't you? you have more than 2000 memories, you're making memories every second. the brain is an incredibly powerful tool.
