From LearningOnYourTerms.com: Practicing characters with your iPhone.

I'm glad the "honey, I'll use it to learn and improve myself" line I used to convince my wife to let me buy the iPhone wasn't totally bogus. :)

Who among us is studying spoken Chinese AS WELL AS Chinese characters? For those who are studying characters, what method works best for you when you are learning the characters? Anxious to hear from you all!

Greetings Chinesepod people!  I have developed a new website and one of the many uses of the website is to practice your Chinese!  Head on over to the website to check it out and see if you can read any of the Chinese.  But don't worry if you can't, the English is right there with the Chinese.

It is a daily comic strip in both English and Chinese.  I hope it can make you laugh and I hope you can visit often.

hey all you.. peoples, dogs, w/evers-

some people think that chinese is one of the hardest lang. out there.. are they right? you answer...

yea chinese is mostly about the culture, wealth, and they use there lang. as symbols to deff. the word they are saying. i can hardly speak a sentence, but let me say-

i liked this one guy from china, and we talked... and talked... and talked for like 2 monthes THEN he stopped. just out of the clear blue sky BOOM! lol haha well i'm over it- thats what i get, we have never met and met over the internet (stupid) (kind of), but the thing is is that some people think that chinese people don't have that much emotions than Americans- is that true???

you can answer....

i have never been to china, ive had one friend he was nice, and SEEN a couple of chinese people. but never been there, i eat chinese food. :) and i watch alot of chinese movies..:) but YEA.

seeing the lang. looks hard, some say that if ya know spanish it helps out alot with diff. languages... WRONG! chinese has no comparrasion wat so ever (my understanding) to spanish HOLA NIHAO!.. no.

 P.S- if i spelled hello in chinese wrong, you can deff. tell how much i suck at it, but whats the fun in being sucky... thats why i'm learning it. :)

hey,

i never knew that chinese pod have  made 1000 lessons. that is amazing! there are so many too!

its not that i hate or dislike chinese people at all. if u have read my recent last post. they are the nicest people out there!

they respet you alot, and try to understand as much as they can. they can help you, and you can help them.

it all works out in a happy circle. :) i still don't know how to put chinese lang. on my key board. you must need a extra tool bar to down load, or special way on the key board, but  i think it is cool to see the different symbols- hehe,

even though i don't know what some mean.

大家好!My name is Mathew L, and I'm a senior at Syracuse University planning on (a) somehow, someway making a career out of this China infatuation I have, and (b) spending the next few years, prior to grad school, in China.

Which brings me to my dilemma -- I was never given a Chinese name by one of my 中文老师, so I sought the aid of my Chinese history professor, an American. Mathew meaning "gift from god" the name he gave me, in endeavoring to retain some semblance of both meaning and pronunciation was:

吕萌天 (Lǚ Méngtian) -- which I was told translates to 'sprout of heaven'.

I've since run the name by a few Chinese people and their reactions to it have been underwhelming. The first, my current Chinese language teacher, wanted me to drop the 天; she felt that 萌 and 天 made no sense together, one being about plants the other being about sky. The second person told me the name struck him as a girl's name at first glance. So this was worrying.

Anyways, sorry this post is so lengthy -- I'm hoping you all, and particularly the native Chinese among us, will be able to give me some feedback on the original name -- does it make sense? does it sound alright? does it give off an effeminate vibe?

谢谢你们,

Matt~

I was just curious.  Are the scripts first written in English or Chinese?  Sometimes I see them as leaning towards things an American would want to say and then translate into Chinese.  Other times, it seems the opposite.  Either way, it'd sure provide some insight.

 

Thanks!

I've been on the hunt this morning for people who are learning Chinese and blogging about their experiences. Good blogs seem to be hard to come by so I'm giving you a chance to shout about yours here.

If you are learning Chinese (any level) and blogging about the experience then I'd love to hear from you. You can always send me a message if you don't want to promote your blog here.

Many thanks.

Many Pleco users have been wondering if there are any methods to colorize the text according the tone of the characters. I think this is one of the best features of Pleco.
I've found a script on the net, which is able to colorize any hanzi on any webpage

So
0. Install Firefox
1. Install Chinese Perapera-kun https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3349
3. Install Greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748
4. Locate cperakun.jar and uncompress it, it's a normal archive
5. Locate adso.dat and simple.idx
6. Create a folder and copy adso.dat and simple.idx
7. Save the file 43877.user.js form http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/43877 by right-clicking Install button
8. Move the file 43877.user.js to the folder containing adso.dat and simple.idx
9. Edit the 43877.user.js: var color= new Array('black','red','green','blue','purple','grey'); or any color pattern you like
10. Open Firefox, File-Open file and locate the 43877.user.js
11. Install 43877.user.js

That's it
Good luck!
