March 7, 2014 at 6:08 AMYes, 太极 and 气功 are great ! They are not sports, they are a way to be healthy (and so much more than this definition as well...). Badminton is very funny.

February 22, 2014 at 8:13 PMHey mate ! I've been told that in general the difference is that 又 is in the past, 再 in the future (like in 再见).
又 yòu : again; moreover。
又过了一天。Another day passed.
又是他。It's him again.
啊，又是这些。Ah! Not those again! (http://chinesepod.com/lessons/hungry-traveler-hong-kong#sthash.5jGUnHPi.dpbs)
再 zài : again; once more; further(more)
再 吃 一点儿。Eat some more.
再说一遍。One more time. (http://chinesepod.com/lessons/repeat-after-me#sthash.CGhKjF38.dpbs)
我们以后再说吧 ! We'll talk about it later.

February 3, 2014 at 11:36 AMOK, Right-Wingnut, thank you for the answer and the very useful sample sentences. This is what Wenlin says and why I'm confused, even if I trust what is above as well:
找 [zhǎo] look for, seek
找 ¹zhǎo* v. ①look for; seek | Nǐ ∼ shéi? Who are you looking for? ②call on; approach; ask for ③give change | ∼ nǐ wǔ máo. Your change is fifty cents.

February 3, 2014 at 7:56 AMI'm a little bit confused by the verb 找 in this sentence: 二姨妈的干女儿又找了一个男朋友. Here it means "to find". Any other examples with this meaning, please ? I thought that it was "to search".
