Can you tell what I am saying in this very beginner video? Where do I need work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI1MEGOJ8rc

Unfortunately Youtube is *not available* in China, so we can't enjoy your video here!

Hi kanetha

Please don't misunderstand China. Exactly speaking, the PRC is not necessarily an autocratic state. In reality, "everything goes" here in China, unless you challenge the authority of the Chinese Communist Party. In a sense, it may be said that Chinese people are enjoying more "freedom" than people in democracies are.

Everything goes, huh?!

OK then, I'm off to score coke and go wife-swapping...

(I am kidding by the way!!)

Hey there!

Are you talking about this “我说的不好，我说的不好，我说的很好，我会说一点儿普通话，他说我是美国人”  wǒ shuō de bù hǎo，wǒ shuō de bù hǎo，wǒ shuō de hěn hǎo，wǒ huìshuō yīdiǎnr Pǔtōnghuà，tā shuō wǒ shì Měiguórén. "我说的不好", it sounds like singing, I love that! But, maybe you can put it a little bit fast and nice try!

Cheers!
