Chinese Conversation Questions

August 03, 2009, 03:22 AM posted in General DiscussionIf you know something about Mandarin and you don't mind helping, please take a look at my translations below and tell me if they are okay. These are questions that I'm going to use with my language partner. I'm thinking about making a series of topics and posting them in a group. That way, if people want they can print them out and practice like I am, or better yet, they can write a response in the comment section so everyone can learn and provide feedback. If anybody has any thoughts, let me know.

Actually I spent all of my energy learning Chinese grammatical tense in your previous threads. I'm "idling" now, hehe.

But you are right, and I know that this might be a hopeless cause.
