How the do you do the tones properly? Tonal languages with 20 000+ charachters are ridiculassssse. How do you do it?? I mean position of the tongue, cheeks, teeth, breath, nunchaku and so on. Lira? Someone? You ing ninjas are nuts.
edit: and if you say start with pinyin because it is easier don't...because i am and it isn't easier:p |

I'm going to write a really long post with everything you need to know in an hour :)
Tones and position of tongue/consonants? Okay. Anything else? |

I'll start with that. I appreciate it. I don't want to overload my plate.
My goal by september is to speak enough (at least pinyin) to:
-Greetings/basic conversation/teaching terms (for when i don't have a translator)
-Directions aka be able to direct a driver.
-Food (very important) I'm adventurous, have already eaten dog, scorpion, snake and so on, but i really want to know what i am buying, because i don't really trust them with food...at least not yet.
-Obviously terms of endearment towards females because i can fit 2.2 nijas on it.
-Money and business terms. I would like to learn to count to 100 but i think this might be a challenge in 2 months.
after that everything else is cake, and i hope to pick up more when there. My friend and partner's wife is Chinese so after i get used to it i'm hoping that she can fill in the rest of the important stuff as i go.
It seems easy, and it would in any other language (i could both read and write these terms in korean after less than 2 weeks.), but this is impossible. Pinyin doesn't even include the tones and i'm still calling my mother a donkey.:haha:
What really sucks is that i'm doing an Italian refresher at the same time and it can be confusing doing 2 languages in 1 even if my Italian is suffeciant enough to communicate.
My Life. My friend says they don't shave their pussies either...do you think it has something to do with communism?:( |
