1/6 - Takeaway Favourites
There's a shock moment in this new cookery show when presenter Ching- He Huang reveals the quantities of fat, sugar and salt in the average Chinese takeaway meal. It's not a pretty sight. In fact, it may put you off the whole idea of takeaways for some time. And that would suit the tirelessly chirpy Ms Huang nicely because she wants to show us how easy it is to create takeaway favourites in our own kitchens. Her healthier versions of chicken chow mein and beef in oyster sauce look fabulous and, yes, dead easy. So easy that we see Britain's women's rowing captain cook them, too, just so we know there's nothing to it. It's all very jolly, and after half an hour with Huang, you'll be itching to throw away that flyer from the Golden Dragon and get to wok.

Hey guys, I wanted to know if anybody here uses this program called Pleco? http://www.pleco.com
It's a very extensive dictionary, has the ability to write a character in and it will recognize it and lead you to it's entry in multiple dictionaries. I just got the demo, will only let you look at A's, and I was delighted also to see that the dictionary I'm working with right now (being a new learner), the Tuttle Learner's Dictionary, is on there, on top of a few other ones.
So Before I purchase, does anybody else use this? Is it worth it? Something better out there, or what?
Thanks and p.s. this is my first post on ChinesePod so woo!
This discussion started in a Qing Wen episode, but I want to hear some input from other people or hear about experiences related to getting your MA in Chinese Studies or Linguistics with a concentration in Chinese.
I am interested in knowing about any program or any name of a school to look up to get my MA in Chinese language or Linguistics with a focus on Chinese. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
If you want to give me more detailed information exactly to my situation, you can read below :)
I have just moved back to the west (currently I am in Istanbul, but will be returning to the States sometime September) after living in Sichuan for 2 years. I was working as a Peace Corps volunteer in 攀枝花. I have studied Chinese informally with a tutor for about 16 hours a week for 2 years. I think I have some solid foundations in Chinese (HSK level 3). My strength are in Oral Chinese and my eagerness to learn Chinese and my obsession with Chinesepod.
I am trying to figure out the next step in my life, but one thing is for sure, in 2010/2011 I want to get my MA and preferably in Chinese language. Since I am a native German speaker, I would optimally be interested in actually doing Chinese-German translations.
Anyways, that aside, I want to know how I can start an MA in Chinese, when I have only studied Education for my undergrad. Before my 2 years in China I had no idea about the language, so I am relatively new, and though I think my level isn't the lowest in practice, on paper I don't have anything but the past 2 years to show for Chinese. I don't even have my HSK certificate (different story, but it involved having to leave China with only 4 days notice).
I am looking for programs that would be willing to take me in preferably the Sates or Europe ( I am a dual citizen, so I would actually prefer Europe, cause it'd be cheaper, but am open to anything). I am not even necessarily looking for an MA program, I am just looking for something, even a job, in which I can use my Chinese and am encouraged to continue learning it.
Why not study in China?--- Down the road, yes, but after living sooo sooo far away from everything near and dear, I just want to spend some time with laoweis and family. Also, if I could actually get an MA from an American or European school, I think it'd be better applicable to finding a job in either the US or Europe.
Thank you!
