May 11, 2010, 04:54 AMGo now! :) Yunnan was my favorite place I traveled in China...beautiful area, weather's great, people are awesome, and THE FOOD! Pretty good Muslim restaurants in Kunming too, as I recall.
Aw man! Just hanging out on CPod makes me want to go back to China, but this lesson hits HOME!

May 05, 2010, 05:59 PM我很喜欢这堂课！ 我在中国大学教英语的时候，有很多“哑巴英语”的学生。 他们有很大的词汇量，语法也不错，但是多听不懂，也很害怕说话。 我感觉很可怜的，因为我觉得说话比读词典比较好玩。：） 你不会跟别人讨论你为什么学习语言？
呵呵，我也经历了有很多“逮住外国人”的游戏！ :)

May 05, 2010, 05:44 PMI'm not even close with Chinese, but I got there with Spanish using a combination of living in the country, trying to spend time overwhelmingly with friends who don't speak English, and reading to bring up my vocab. For a year I tried almost full immersion, refusing to listen to songs , read the news, or form friendships that weren't in Spanish. They say that for languages linguistically similar to your own (English --> French/Spanish/etc.), 2-3 years living in a country that speaks that language should do it, and for a language linguistically dissimilar (English -->Russian/Arabic/Chinese/etc.), 5-7 years should do it. The time probably varies depending on your level of commitment and immersion.
For me, I'm having to figure out different techniques with Chinese. The music isn't really to my taste, and the nature of the language makes it difficult for me to do a lot of reading, as I did with Spanish. Also, I found it trickier to make friends who will speak to you only in Chinese.
I met a Canadian guy once traveling through Yunnan who had AMAZING command of Chinese using similar techniques to the ones I used for Spanish--he simply had a lifestyle that was in Chinese. He was traveling with a Korean friend who spoke better Chinese than English, and he did a lot of reading of Chinese magazines and such.
Dunno if that helps or not, but that's some of what I've seen work.

May 02, 2010, 05:42 PM谢谢你们！ 我很喜欢这样的课！ 我的中文语法很差（我没有中文课，就自己学），所以我觉得“请问”真有用！

May 02, 2010, 05:32 PM谢谢你们！ 我也觉得“corny/cheesy”有点难翻译， 对英文也有点麻烦解释。 很奇怪的词！

April 27, 2010, 05:19 PM我有一个问题！ 你们说“corny”是怎么说的？ “肉麻”马？ 我觉得“corny/cheesy” 很有用，但是我不知道怎么说。
Y Liliana， No sé si tiene alguna idea, pero llevo mucho tiempo platicando con algunos amigos sobre si existe una palabra en español con el sentido de "corny" o "cheesy". 你们知不知道 西班牙文有没有那个词？ 我跟很多朋友有那个问题。 有“cursi”，但是意思不太一样。：） 哈哈，SpanishPod, Chinesepod 在一起！
谢谢你们！
Posted on: Giving up a Seat on the Bus
April 07, 2010, 05:24 AMI was living last year in 阿根廷（Argentina), and it's the same way! People are amazing about, even in the worst of rush hour subways (where, literally, people have been crushed) seats will be instantly given for children, pregnant ladies, and the elderly, even though you may have fought and hovered for that seat. But back in the US (west coast) I notice that people will be surprised and almost taken aback if you give up your seat for them. Interesting how it varies...
