Anyone speak Mandarin Chinese?

[Dr.Hashman]

I am learning and it so hard! Rosetta Stone is how I am learning it. I know I need to just learn the basics so I can move to Commi-pinko land (just kiddin') and learn to speak it fluently.

Is anyone else learning or know how to speak Chinese? Does anyone know how strict China is on Marijuana?

[Oneironaut]

我说一些中文。中文是一个很不容易的语言。

By that I mean you need a better translator. Obviously the one you're using doesn't know shit about Chinese. :p

[Samwhore]

Hahaha, that's what I was thinking. Aren't you using a translator too though?

Anyhow, I can speak Mandarin pretty well. I studied it in college for two years here in the U.S., then moved to China for a year or so and studied it there. Plus my wife is Chinese so I constantly practice with her. My in-laws don't speak a word of English so when we communicate it's all in Chinese. Funny thing though, my 3 year old daughter is already correcting my tones. "Baba, ni shou de bu dui. Shi tang(2), bu shi tang(4)."

[Oneironaut]

Hahaha, that's what I was thinking. Aren't you using a translator too though?

No, I studied Mandarin for two years at college, but I've forgotten a lot of it.

[rayhaha]

A friend of mine is completely fluent in mandarin. Dont know how long he's been able to talk it, but damn, anyone would think it's his mother tounge.

[psybotbob]

wo hui shou zhong wen. (I can speak Chinese)
I speak Chinese. I'm living in China now, with my wife.
She's Chinese. I'm from South Africa though.
I don't write Chinese. It's way to difficult. I'm slowly learning as I stay here longer. I speak Afrikaans too.

[twoguysupnorth]

yes chinese are strict on drugs. i had a mandarin roomate once and only learned a couple of words, also have another mandarin online friend. they both say that their parents and families are very strict and traditional there. good luck, i bet it will be a good experience anyways.

[zane929]

im a first-gen chinese, parents immigrated in 87. I can speak mandarin fluently but i cant read/write very well. i wish and everyone keeps telling me i should learn to be literate too, but i always lose interest. too many goddamn words to memorize.

as far as i know, they're extremely strict about pot (and drugs in general besides alcohol/tobacco) in china. dealing can get you the death penalty. apparently it's hard to get good bud, but my friend who was in beijing last summer said he was able to find some decent hash. i dont really know how you'd go about getting some though; i go back to china pretty much every year but always with my family so i've never tried to smoke while im there.

[cannabis campbell]

Nope, I dont but people say its supposedly the most common spoken language in the world.

[jonnypotseed]

i could lend a hand

[jonnypotseed]

first of all..
what is your objective?

[pixel]

a lot of little kids in America are learning this now I heard, it's a good thing too, because our generation is going to have to work with China benevolently if we want to be anything in the upcoming global economy

ni ma lai ji - your mom is trash, or something like that lol
