Speaking of Chinese, has anyone here seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or House of Flying Daggers?

[PrinceOfTheWest]

CTHD is great! I love the way they kept it "Chinese", not trying to make a Western movie out of a Chinese story and actors.

Have you seen Hero with Jet Li? Just as good, and wonderfully enigmatic!

[Ithilien]

I heard mixed reviews. I heard the story was pretty lackluster. What is the plot?

We would teach you Chinese but we can't post Chinese Words to help you learn here because this thread is suppose to be posted in English..

Oh and Ithilian I seen the movie Crouching tiger Hidden Dragon, it used to be my favorite movie when I was small!!

Anyone know how to Quote someone twice??
I forgot about how to do it... :(

[Ithilien]

Thanks fantasyfan1029.

Maybe you could try using the HTML codes in your message. Try adding .... I never had to add quotes like that so I have never tried to do that.

[Impreza]

I don't know. :p Maybe coz i'd prefer Japanese as 2 of my siblings & my grandfather's siblings speaks Japanese. Oh yeah, my bro & sis been to Japan for exchange culture programme by American Field Service (AFS).

Check out the latest movie...well...not so latest... Memoirs of Geisha. :D

[Tsubasa]

Ironically, it's supposed to be set in Japan. Yet neither the actors or the sets are Japanese...

Ithilien's teaching me Cantonese but I'm kinda slow. ^^;;

[Impreza]

Cantonese? Oh ok. I'm into Mandarin.

[YOYO Lan]

I'm glad to see that lots of people want to help you. And I'm from Shanghai,China, I can help you everytime :）

[Wunderkind]

Ok,I have a question to the chinese people here: Is it true that in China you're only allowed to have one child?
My friend told me that a long time ago and I was like no that can't be true! Is it true?Just wondering whether I can trust my friend or not..

[pink-cheetah]

i dont live in china, i live in america, but my dad (who used to live there) said something like that....

[Impreza]

I guess so. If im not mistaken, they're trying to implement the Population control.

[LadyAnn]

I would like to learn Mandarin (my company has been bought by a Taiwanese company and we are constantly having people who speak Mandarin coming into our offices). Anyone have a suggestion of a good course that I can purchase to help me with that?

[Elf-Eonah]

Hello,I'm Chinese girl,I can teach your Chinese,nice to see you!

[Someonebeatmetowunderkind]

I used to know a little of the Beijing dialect. It would be fun to brush up on it and learn some more. It's a hard language to learn just by typing it though. Many of the words have several different meanings depending on how you say them. I would love to get back into it, but you would be best served by finding a friend that you can speak to in chinese on a regular basis.

maybe we can make a yahoo chat room, and use the voice chat.

[Impreza]

In my campus, they're about to send 10 people to Hong Kong to learn Mandarin for a year there! Its only available to those who took Mandarin as 3rd Language and i'm one of them too!

[Ithilien]

[Snowing]

[Snowing]

Only a little.We Chinese also learn English at school.But most of us can write a little English.If we are talking face to face,we won't understand each other.

[Dora_the_explora]

[Snowing]

I live in China.Thanks to the Internet,I can make lots of foreign friends.

[Ithilien]

Ooh! how's life in China?

[Snowing]

Just fair.We middle school students have at least 7 lessons a day.We arrive school at 7:30am.Classes begin at 8 and over at 11:40.There are 4 classes in the morning.Some of us stay at school at noon.In the afternoon we begin our class at 2:30.We can leave school at 5:20.Life are all the same a day and a day.Every week we have only 2 P.E. classes.But every day we have Chinese,Maths,English,Phisics,Chemistry lessons.We can hardly have time to go to cinema,party,shopping.Everyone sets his mind to study hard.We sometimes feel tired.However,we can stop.

[Ithilien]

Working hard: that is true Asian sentiment. The educations system is so vigorous!

[Dreamer]

ni men hao! :P
I'm Chinese too.....
sweet

[maxwell's demon]

Our Chinese students should really spend a lot of time on study. That's why I didn't come to this forum often. It is true that one couple only could have one child in China, especially in cities, but you won't understand it until you come here. It is very different from your country. When will you come to China? Learning a little Chinese will help you a lot while you are in China. By the way, I'd like to ask all the friends here, that which part of China are you come from? Maybe we could have chats on some software like MSN

That's right!Most of Chinese do not know English at all.China has a large population,that is why one couple only could have one child.Now I spend ten hours at nine one day.Though it is tired,we could say nothing.
