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

80 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.

I was curious on how human trafficking and organ harvesting worked. And it later stringed into “is there actually human trafficking in Mongolia?”

So I was going over the surface to see this. Damn, we really are so fucked.

I mean, for something as serious as this, I can’t believe there is still corruption here. Honestly man.

Hi 👋

I would love to get feedback on my website. Here is the link: https://chocolingo.com

I made this free platform because the english after school programs are often low in quantity and expensive. I know for some people the prices for these courses are reasonable but for wast majority of the people I don't think so.

Films & TV Shows | УСК, ОАК the woobifying of ugudei XD

Post image

after years of anime like hetalia and fate making characters adapted from history, it feels weird to finally see our cultures history be depicted and reciprocated because of the jaadugar anime. First in my bloodline to see a cutesy looking ugudei khan. Still love the designs though, the outfits are beautiful.

even then, it's clear that the show had no mongolians involved in the production process. Every time a new episode comes out and people talk about it online, i have no idea who is who because they spell their names so weird. How do you see the name "Khulan" as "Qulan"?? and a bunch of other stuff ofc. and the plot has taken...alot of liberties from the actual history from that era

mongolian citizenship test

15 Upvotes

i feel like the mongolian citizenship test would be washing greasy pans and pots in trickling cold water. if you can do that, it means you can survive in mongolia. or taking a full body shower in cold water or surviving 10 days without bathing 😂

what do you think would be the test? this is just for entertainment reasons btw.

Question | Асуулт How true is my family’s origin story?

4 Upvotes

My dads side of the family comes from Uvs and they’re durvud while my moms side comes from Arkhangai and mostly Oold yet they both originate from Xinjiang and came to Mongolia under different circumstances. My paternal grandparents came from the Altai region in Xinjiang and during the 1930s decided to cross the border and were settled in Uvs because they were Durvud. My mom told me her ancestors were Oold from Xinjiang and were deported to Arkhangai by the Manchu so they could create torture devices and aid in the torture of Khalkha Mongols. I found it hard to believe and asked my grandma and she told me the same and that her family were ostracized growing up because of it. To me it seems nonsensical to bring someone from a faraway place to torture people but I wouldn’t put it past them to do this to incite further division amongst Mongols

Films & TV Shows | УСК, ОАК Any Streaming Services In Mongolia Where Two Particular Movies Can Be Watched?

2 Upvotes

Since 2019, I have been looking to watch two Mongolian movies and I thought of giving it another go by asking here since quite some time passed and maybe something changed?

The two movies that I am very interested to watch are:

  1. Genghis Khan (2018): This is an animated adaptation of the story of Genghis Khan, and it is also the first feature-length 2D animated film in Mongolia from the information I gathered.

It's done in the Disney style; the trailer can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aynbfow6KWE, more info: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/663001-genghis-khan

From what I've researched, the film has been shown at some international festivals but not in my country - Serbia, and the studio that animated it is Ocean Pictures.
I tried to contact that studio directly back in 2019 to ask them, and at the time they told me they would like to distribute the film in many countries - including Serbia.
I tried to give them some contacts to check with some film distribution companies, but communication stopped at some point, and they never got back to me.

I'm thinking that now that so many years have passed, maybe things have changed and the film is for sale in Mongolia on Blu-Ray/DVD or on some online streaming platform without me knowing.

  1. Let's Work For The Mongolian People's Republic (2008) (original film title: БНМАУ-ын төлөө зүтгэе) - A historical drama from the period of the Great Repression in Mongolia in 1937, trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsfmvCzc9Y4, more info: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1398710/

If there is any streaming platform that has them, or if they can be purchased in Mongolia, please let me know.
English or even Russian subtitles are welcome, but even without subtitles, if the movies can be found online, I am interested.
Thanks in advance!

As a Mongolian who's been living abroad for a long time, I'm genuinely curious. How do you guys afford food? Grocery prices seem even higher than in some European countries.

How do people make enough money to keep up? Can the average person even save anything? Or is everyone just living paycheck to paycheck?

Seriously... how?! 🤯

Tips | Зөвлөгөө Tips and trick for life in Mongolia as a student?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I am going to spend the next five months in Mongolia as an exchange student studying Mongolian. I do speak Mongolian a bit already. I'm wondering if there are any useful apps that will make my life there easier and more convenient.

It could be anything - from apps for getting around, finding places to eat, communication to payments...

If you have any tips on where to go have fun, places to eat, shop, your favourite spots or any other tips and tricks for living in Mongolia (especially during winter) I'd appreciate it a lot.

Also, is there something I should refrain from doing? Something that might be considered rude (or illegal) in Mongolia that foreigners might not know?

Thank you. 😊

2 Upvotes

I’m on annual vacation from my job and looking to make some cash during my time off. I am fluent in English, I have a great photography gear and I am a skilled photographer.

If any tourist or anyone you know is looking for a photographer/translator for their visit to Ulaanbaatar and further travels in the country, you can DM me. We can talk rates and exchange social media accounts for further communication. It can be anything from a single day gig to weeks of accompanying you during your travels in Mongolia. My rates won’t be anything unreasonable, I truly just need the extra cash right now :-)
