Sain baitsgaana uu r/mongolia!

For some context, I’m (27F) Mongolian who is married to a non-Mongolian (28M). We were looking for some resources so my husband can learn Mongolian, and we realized there weren’t that many apps that are user-friendly or easy to stick with. It got me thinking about all the 2nd gen kids I've met who don't know Mongolian, and whether my kids in the future would be able to speak Mongolian if I’m the only one teaching it. It lowkey got me scared that our language might die in my family line in the next generation or two, which just adds to my pre-existing guilt of feeling not Mongolian enough and blah blah blah blah. 

So to combat this, my husband and I have been working on “Mongolingo”, a beginner-friendly gamified language learning app to teach Mongolian. So far I only made the lessons for Unit 1 and 2 because I wanted to get YOUR inputs on whether I’m going too fast, too slow, if the lessons I’m teaching make sense in general or if I should take a completely different approach instead.

I would GREATLY appreciate any and all feedback from native Mongolian speakers, "Monglish" speakers, and people who don't know any Mongolian! I want this to be something that anyone can use if they have any curiosity about our language, and in the future add more and more advanced sections.

Please leave feedback in the comments below! And please no hate comments lol

Download app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mongolingo/id6774407866 or just look up Mongolingo (its the one with the bear mascot)

Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH for the support and comments! We have written down any and all feedback so far onto our to-dos so expect these in our next update, as well as more lessons. We will also be reaching out to some Mongolian schools and communities in the states to get some feedback on our lessons. We are so so grateful for being added to the posts highlight and being given this user flare, shout out mods! Yostoiii ih bayarlalaa manaihaan.

Pinned A Note of Precaution on Meeting Strangers via Reddit

Upvotes

UPDATE: All underage users posting or commenting to meet new people will be deleted for their safety.

Due to recent posts by teen and adolescent redditors in this sub, we mods want to say this one thing.

It's okay to be bored and want to meet new people for whatever reason, but please exercise some caution and use common sense. Especially if you're under 18.

Always tell a parent and/or friend about any meetings you're going to have with a stranger.

Tell them the location of your meetings and ask them to check in after certain amount of time.

Also, use common sense in giving out your personal information, like name, D.O.B, address, etc.

And you probably don't need us to tell you how scary things can get if someone gets a hold of embarrassing data about you. Right?

We're sure most people in this subreddit are good and cool, but just want you to use common sense.

What else is there to add?


Энэ сабреддит дээр өсвөр насны реддит хэрэглэгчид танилцъя, нөхөрлөе гэсэн пост оруулаад байгаа болохоор модераторууд нь нэг зүйл хэлэхийг хүсч байна.

Уйдаад, шинэ найз нөхөдтэй болох гээд реддитээр дамжуулж хүнтэй уулзах чөлөөтэй, гэхдээ үүндээ болгоомжтой, няхуур хандана уу, ялангуяа 18 нас хүрээгүй бол.

Танихгүй хүнтэй уулзах гэж байгаа бол энэ талаараа эцэг эх болон/эсвэл найздаа урьдчилан хэлж, дараах мэдээллийг өгч байгаарай. Үүнд: хаана хэдий хугацаатай уулзах, тодорхой хугацааны дараа өөр лүүгээ залгуулж, шалгуулах гэх мэт.

Мөн бүтэн нэр, гэрийн хаяг гэх мэт хувийн мэдээллээ өгөхөөсөө өмнө сайн бодоорой.

За тэгээд дараа нь ичгэвэртэй байдалд оруулахаар зураг, бичлэг, мэдээллээ өгөөд ямар аймшигтай хүнд байдалд ордог тухай бишгүй сонсож байсан гэж найдъя.

Манай сабреддитийн ихэнх хүмүүс догь, дажгүй гэдэгт бид итгэлтэй байна, гэхдээ дээрх мэдээллийг байнга бодоорой гэж хүсэх байна.

Hi! I'm Dorucci and I'm posting here again 2 years later. I'm in really financial problem r.n so I need to take commissions urgently. I'll draw anything if you pay me :)) Like portraits, comics, posters, OCs, maybe even a family picture drawing :3 I even started drawing NSFW arts lately. Can't name estimated prices since different drawings take different times and different artstyles tho. I'm also interested in part-time jobs. So please DM me if anybody is interested.

We knew each other through my friend. I said the thing, and she reciprocated, and yeah. It feels awesome after all the shit I've been through.

Question | Асуулт Do anyone have some advice/warnings for writing a fantasy inspired by Central Asia and Mongolia?

Upvotes

I'm writing a fantasy story with worldbuilding inspired by the cultures of Turkic Central Asia and Mongolia. It's not a faithful representation of any one country or people – I do research and then decide if I want to do something similar or entirely different. For example, airag (or kumis) is an important traditional drink, so it will make an appearance at ceremonies and when receiving guests. But, while most (if not all) nomadic/transhumance pastoralists in the Central and East Asian steppes are patrilineal and patrilocal, I decided to make my fantasy society matrilineal and matrilocal.

I'm also planning to include a small side plot in which a character learns from a shaman, but I decided not to do too much research into actual shamanic practices because I wasn't sure if it's considered taboo or sacred knowledge not meant to be shared with outsiders (this is the case in some American Indian tribes).

If anyone has advice or warnings they want to share, I'd love to hear them.

Upvotes

Howdy! I'd like to visit your gorgeous country, but I cannot decide if I should wait until summer 2027 and visit then, perhaps during Naadam, or if I should just say fuck it and go in October or November.

Cold is not a problem, but I do worry it will be harder to enjoy nature/nomadic experiences in late autumn.

Thank you!

Discussion | Хэлэлцүүлэг Presumably Russia is trying to recruit Mongolians for the SVO

Upvotes

I'm not very well read up on Mongolian law but a quick google search told me that "Монгол Улсын иргэн гадаад улсын зэвсэгт мөргөлдөөн болон дайны үйл ажиллагаанд хөлсний цэрэг буюу сайн дураар оролцох нь хууль бус бөгөөд эрүүгийн хариуцлага хүлээлгэх гэмт хэрэг болдог".

And there have been cases of Mongolians signing up to fight for Russia by their own accord, and now they're setting up advertisements for Mongolians to go die in a war that they have no reason to be in, this is incredibly sad, as Russia has been forcefully recruiting people from Tuva and Buryatia, etc. and now they want men from Mongolia.

Discussion | Хэлэлцүүлэг Does anyone else think Ginjin is absurdly overrated?

Upvotes

Im actually so confused as to why the majority of hip hop listeners think that ginjin is the best rapper out there rnow?? Hes been making that 10s ATL trap for ages and he never changes up his sound. So many desperate attempts to make radio hits, which unfortunately seem to work. I know the Mongolian Hip Hop/Rap scene is kinda cooked when looking at these mainstream artists, but theres better artists than him. At least i think. I admit some of his hooks on his songs are kinda catchy, but theyre so basic and repetitive. Why do these people think Ginjin actually makes good music??

After the Mongol Empire, why did not the Mongols ever reach the same pinnacle or even near pinnacle of success as was before?

Upvotes

Given how the Mongol Empire was not only the largest empire in history but was also a cultural powerhouse were it also contributed to connection between East and West being able to trade both material and knowledge between each other. I'm surprised how the post-Mongol states sadly became irrelevant and reverted back to the usual nomads squabling amogst themselves while settled empires exploit these conflict and even force them into submission through force or through trade embargoes. In the end, the Mongols were defeated and made vassals and soldiers of the Later Jurchen Jin that would later become the Qing Dynasty.

Why didn't the post-Mongol Empire ever repeat the same highs and develop knowledge in arts, science and most importantly technology like the Chinese and the Europeans did given how the Mongol Empire had such cultural and intellectual hights?

Correct me if I'm wrong though. I'd rather ask here to read the proper answers.
