Posted on: Do I Need To Learn Chinese Characters?

in fact, for writing i use the app first, it corrects me, so i quickly can learn the stroke order, and direction and adequate length, then i use pen and paper, which is again different, but similar enough

i used an app called WCC Character, which is a very good tool, if you want to nail the characters into your brain, so you can identify them quickly. But writing is a different ballgame, even if i can read them, i still cannot write them. The other way round, since i started to write by hand (an affordable app is Clavis Sinica, you buy it and finished, not like other apps, where you are billed every month), also my recognition has improved much.

Maybe you could translate 窝 with cocooning ? In German the best word is einigeln, which literally means hedgehoging!

其实没您想得那么糟。那个女孩子叫张小雨是吗？她有时候会来我家玩，他俩在一起的时候我和他妈都留意过，基本上都是在学习。 应该是 她妈， 对吗

I was told, that grammar is not or only to a minimal extent taught to " ordinary" people, only to students of Chinese language and literature.

right you are! the Chinese friends, that i ask, are always very sure, that they are right, and when i confront them with "grammar" from a dictionary, they always insist, that there is no thing like grammar in Chinese, that this "grammar" in the textbook is only for us westerners, haha

thank you, that seems to be a viable explanation. The question is, if it then can be considered standard language or rather local dialect. I would be interested in a Qing Wen about these north south differences, i have the impression, there are a lot more. Thank you for your quick answers.
