I may help you in learning Chinese

Thanks hjxun844! I already learned a new character from your posting. Keep writing in hanzi. I will try to read it.

Haha...John the hanzi patrolman! 汉字错误警察John! hjxun844，别太担心JohnP老师的评论，他的眼睛太厉害！我写英文的时候我也有时候打错误为了打字打出来太快. 谢谢你的帮助，很小有中国人过来在这里用中文跟我们聊聊。 hjxun844, Don't mind JohnP's comment too much, his eyes are too sharp! When I write English I also sometimes type typos because I write too fast. Thanks for helping us, there aren't too many Chinese that come here and chat with us in Chinese.

There is a sentence,you can try to speak it,and distinguishes the different pronunciation of each character.It's extremely (very,very,very) difficult.If you can distinguish it,then tries to speak it a biter faster. 四是四，十是十， 十四是十四，四十是四十； 谁能说准四十、十四、四十四，谁来试一试； 谁说十四是四十，就打谁十四， 谁说四十是十四，就打谁四十。

heh, even some of my Chinese friends have trouble saying that fast!

"不知道你们想了解关于中国的那个方面的" You mean 哪个方面, right? （大家都在努力学习，打字的时候一定要小心哦！）

呵呵，好啊，不知道你们想了解关于中国的那个方面的，我会尽我最大努力来帮助大家，同时，也学习学习英语！

I found this somewhere some time ago: Sums up for me what is impossible about this language. title: 石室嗜獅史 石室詩史施氏, 嗜獅, 誓食十獅。 氏時時適市視獅。 十時, 適十獅適市。 是時, 適施氏適市。 氏視是十獅, 恃矢勢, 使是十獅逝世。 氏拾是十獅屍, 適石室。 石室濕, 氏使侍拭石室。 石室拭, 氏始試食是十獅。 食時, 始識是十獅屍實十石獅，試釋是事！

In simplified: title: 石室嗜狮史 石室诗史施氏, 嗜狮, 誓食十狮。 氏时时适市视狮。 十时, 适十狮适市。 是时, 适施氏适市。 氏视是十狮, 恃矢势, 使是十狮逝世。 氏拾是十狮屍, 适石室。 石室湿, 氏使侍拭石室。 石室拭, 氏始试食是十狮。 食时, 始识是十狮屍实十石狮，试释是事！

Mike, don't worry, that is not contemporary Chinese but 古文. In fact the poem was written to demonstrate the problems of 古文. Here the background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den

Henning Many thanks for that. I had never tried to decifer it putting it in the 'too hard' category, but am relieved to find it is 古文。 Thanks for the link - that's really interesting.

I'm sorry for that.
