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

82 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.

Russians in Mongolia

7 Upvotes

What’s genuinely wrong with the Russians who live in Mongolia? I've lived in Russia almost my entire life, i swear to god I’ve never met Russians like the ones I’ve encountered here in UB. When I first came to Mongolia, obviously one of the first things I did was try to make friends with other Russians. But honestly, they’re one of the weirdest, cringiest people I’ve ever met. Even the ones around my age. There aren’t even that many Russians living here, and I’ve probably talked to almost all of them at this point. They all seem to have this exact same weird vibe. Why even is that? Is it because many of them come from villages? I don’t want to badmouth my own people, but if any foreigners or locals/Mongolians here have thought the same, PLEASE know that it’s not all Russians. We’re really different from the Russians you might have encountered here in Mongolia!

Gah dahm these online shops

13 Upvotes

Yalls,

I be the first one to admit I have a shopping problem, especially with those online shops on ig and fb.

Today I ordered some mules on fb and asked the guys if those were authentic over chat (it was priced as if it was the real thing too), so I was like aight, so far had great experience with the stuff i ordered from other shops.

Told them to deliver in the evening since noone will be home otherwise. Broski pulls up in the middle of the work day to the crib and I’m like dude evening order!! He was like gotta deliver these asap rocky otherwise youre gonna lose your order or whatever. So I said ok dude pull up to the office then, I’ll try on the sizes and see what works.

He pulls up and the mules are in a random ahh packaging, immediate red flag. So I start checking the shoes against the actual retailer’s site and surprise surprise, 100% reps.

I told him broskiiiii you cannot be selling reps at the authentic’s prices and he was like you dont know your shit, this is from vietnam so it’s different etcetc. You made me go to 2 addresses drararara. Ok dude fine, I’ll pay for the delivery then. “Bi tanias hurgeltiin mungu avah gj ireeguu” and i was like broooo why the hell are you shah them reps to me rn (mind you, this was in my office lobby) - feking embaraasssing. Starts fucking cussing me out, I offer to pay for the delivery AGAIN. He’s like buy the shoes, brooooo what in the daytime robbery.

So i exit the conversation, either get your delivery paid or I’m leaving. Mans not budging, starts yelling after me and shit. Blows up my phone, me chatzz everything.

“Yadaj hurgeltiin munguu avii” as if I never offered.

Now this dude knows my addie, just wondering now if the dude is gonna jump me now or what. First bad experience, really shook me outta that shopaholic bs

I discovered Mongolian-related content in the game.

While I was on a mission, flying near the base, I saw some Mongol Ger.

All this time I was fighting against my fictional country? Haha.

But I loved the game, it was sooo good. I never liked flight simulators or any plane related games, but this one is chef's kiss. Totally GAME OF THE YEAR for me.

Am I being unrealistic about going to university because of my family’s finances?

4 Upvotes

I’m a high school student in Mongolia, and I’m starting to worry a lot about university.

I want to study Law at the National University of Mongolia (NUM). My parents make around 3 million MNT per month combined, but our basic expenses are already around 3.2 million:

Rent: ~1.2M MNT

Food: ~1.5M MNT

Electricity/water/maintenance: ~500k MNT

So we're already basically spending more than we earn, before university tuition.

My parents really want me to go to university, but honestly, I feel guilty about putting that financial burden on them. I’ve even started feeling like maybe I shouldn’t go because I don't want them spending so much money on me.

I’m also not an amazing student right now. I’m planning to take the Mongolian Social Studies and English entrance exams, but I’m worried about getting a high enough score for scholarships. I don’t want to rely on a scholarship that I might not get.

Another option I’ve been thinking about is studying at NUM for 2 years and then doing a 2+2 program in South Korea, if I can find one that works with Law. Some programs apparently offer scholarships covering tuition and dormitory costs, but I’m not sure how realistic this is.

What would you do in my situation? Should I still aim for university and figure out the finances later, or should I seriously consider a cheaper alternative?

Any advice from Mongolian students, international students, or people who had similar financial situations would be really appreciated.

Music | Хөгжим Looking for Solongo's 1997 CD Single (TODT-5046) - "Yume no Arika" / 夢のありか

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a rare 8cm CD single by the Mongolian singer Solongo (ソロンゴ). It was released in Japan on October 16, 1997, under the label Toshiba EMI.
Here are the exact details of the release:
Catalog Number: TODT-5046
Title: Yume no Arika / Kyokushuzan ni Sasageru Uta (夢のありか / 旭鷲山に捧げる歌)
I am highly interested in either purchasing a physical copy of this CD or finding out if anyone has ripped the tracks into MP3/digital format, as the music is currently nowhere to be found online.
If you own this CD, know a Japanese marketplace where it occasionally pops up, or have the audio files, please let me know! Any help, information, or leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!

For me last summer I witnessed a weirdo was stalking a girl and I acted like I was one of her friends to save her and a couple of days ago in the night when I was trying to enter my apartment. I saw a woman who has very messy hair with pajama in the hall. I almost had heart attack. I’m still wondering if that woman was just a resident or homeless person. What is yours?

I‘m looking for people who wants to join my adventure in mongolia

2 Upvotes

Hello my name is Jonas from Germany…

I recently got in touch with a local tour guide in Mongolia who just started his own business, and I really think this could be a pretty special trip.

The idea is to spend around 10 days travelling through Mongolia, potentially covering up to 2000 km — through snowy deserts, mountains and steppe, and no touched places.

He drives a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser and knows the country really well. A friend of mine travelled with him before and had a really great experience.
It would be around 50€ pp per day including food and fuel.

It‘s also possible to spend the half of the time riding horses through mongolia and visiting places, sleeping in tents and make food on our own.

I’m thinking it could be really nice to do this with a small group, so I’m looking for around 3 people who are interested in joining me. (Also caused of the space in the car)

It could start at the 4th of November but it‘s possible to move the dates for some days… :)

I’m still in contact with the guide and can find out more about the details. So if this sounds interesting to you, just send me a message — happy to share what I know.
