What do you think of this "new" Chinese characters recently invented by foreign Chinese speakers? New Chinese Characters - Chinese characters

This post migh be interresting: Why Chinese is much easier to learn than French? The guy explain how French vocabulary is much bigger than Chinese.

I'm now listening to Chinese music. It's pretty like American music, but sung in Chinese.

I'm in China now, I only speak mandarin, and even if communication is hard sometime, I've been able to speak to people in every City, from a luggage carrier in Canton (Guangzhou) to a teacher in Shanghai... Maybe the monk was old, never watched TV, from a small village in the mountain...

Thanks for the link! I daily use Systran (Babelfish)... Do you speak french? I wrote an article (in French) about statistical translation... Using this method, I translate my website alone in two languages (portuguese and italian) I don't speak!

Well this is a myth... All Chinese able to read and write know the basic of Mandarin. That's the language used in school.

Thanks for your so acurate reponse! And how long will it take for we can subscribe to a internet wifi access, wich will work in the world main cities? Just as mobile phone netword interreact (I can phone in China with my French mobile... but very expensive)

Yes! It's almost that! How did you do?

No that's the opposite. This character exists: 安 (woman 女) but means quite, peacefull... Some funny character etymology here: http://www.chinese-tools.com/characters/colourful.html

Haha, why not? I'll try to start some threads, if enough you can create a Chinese forum and move the thread in...

Thank you Dougf! If you (or anybody) has question about the Chinese language, feel free to ask!

You can aswell "copy" the video on your computer by re-recording it. Some software do that.

The future of the internet is free wifi on the whole earth surface! The world is waiting for the first Worldwide provider...

You have time : Option 1 You have monney : Option 2

I'm listening to Sylvain Luc, one of the best guitarist ever. He played with Bireli Lagrene. I met him in a guitar shop... incredible!
