July 26, 2007 at 11:51 AM posted in General DiscussionThis is awesome... it's like this mother and little girl purposely had a Newbie-level conversation just for your benefit!
The little girl may be a little hard to understand (kids often are), but the mother repeats a lot of it quite clearly.

Is this right in character form Lantian?
MOM: 好吃吗？妈妈看你吃吃哦。
KID: mmm, 好吃啊。
MOM: 好吃啊，你跟吗说你在吃什么？
KID: 巧克力蛋糕。
MOM: 巧克力蛋糕，好吃吗？喜欢吗？
KID: 喜欢，谢谢老妈。
(some '好吃's)
MOM: 好帮啊。

JOY - that is pure happiness. Definitely a Taiwanese accent 'e.
MOM: hao chi ma, mama kan ni chi chi 'e
KID: mmm, hao chi a
MOM: hao chi a, ni gen ma shuo ni zai chi shenme?
KID: qiao ke li dan gao
MOM: qiao ke li dan gao, hao chi ma? Xihuan ma?
KID: xihuan, xie xie lao ma.
(some 'hao chi's)
MOM: hao bang a

This is an excellent newbie lesson. Btw, the mother speaks with a Taiwanese accent.

Awwww...that was better than my "Sarah makes dumplings" I made in Shanghai since she was too into 包饺子！ While at the same time I was trying to get her to speak more English (yes, that voice is mine). But when I asked her to "Show me how" she thought I was saying "Ni hao!" ha ha.
