A question about this place:
Alright more questions... Is mandarin the language I should be learning to go to China? I'm confused which language to attempt learning! Can anyone offer online tuition for me in return for much gratitude? I am in the 'sticks' and need help!

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out, I often mix up the two.. easy to make. You say Pu Tong Hua, we say Putonghua, you say Oa Lin Pi Ke we say Olympics, you say potato I say potato. Wow, you are the little teacher, arn’t you? Ever thought about teaching?

Hey, I’d say it’s not teaching but sharing so that you guys can be more advanced. Isn’t it funny that one day I go back to China and see many foreigners speaking Mandarin? Haha, I love teaching in the matter of fact but man I have to obtain a certificate for that.

Can you tell me where did you learn your Mandarin? For how long by now? Do you practice it often? Keep going coz you’ve really impressed me. I wish you could learn more stuffs in 2008 – year of Ao Lin Pi Ke. See ya around!
