Vince G:
Not Fair you should put the tones in? BUT
Do not understand frequently chinese
or in my words. It's chinese to me?
Arnold:
Same here , talk Mandarin to chinese waitress's where I alway's eat , some understand some don't . But if I write character's down , they all know ... unless their born here and never learned the character's , which is quite common here . Many don't know what a Yuan is either , if I want to pay with Yuan Bill for fun .
You think Mandarin chinese and the dialect from where your Lady is from should be more ... more than enough . In my case Shanghainese .
Vince G:
My lady started that this weekend. I don't know the chinese spelling of it but here's an Example was Bin Sur, bin, sur, then she gave 4 tones of sur and repeated the last one (so this is the tone). Sur sounds like Oh Sur! So a few into it I got a very goodd (d prononced doubled) Come on she's cute.
Bin Sur = Battery. I thought her Battery and she thought me.
Ed W:
I plan on enrolling in a year long school very close to my residence for $400 USD. Starts in Sept and ends in June. Although learning to speak and understand the spoke is nice, I want to learn written and writing the language too. I plan on many more trips in my lifetime and sure would love to read all the lables of crap im buying.
