Hi guy`s my English is good, but my Mandarin / Chinese non existent [em21]

I all depend the translation software

You are very lucky with the translation software, we don`t have Chinese font`s installed so all we see are small square boxes.

At least you can try English, I have no idea where to start with Mandarin !

I`ll write more later and give you guys a chance to practice. [em05]

some Chinese letters are easy to understand.
like:
one-->一
two-->二
three-->三
quite easy, right?
then the next one:
four-->四
that's the trouble~~~

That`s very kind to try to teach but all I see is

one ---> Then a little box
two----> then the same little box

I will install a Chinese font tonight to see if that makes a difference.

i can explain that:
one---one line,like'-'
two----two parrell lines
three----three parrell lines
but four------much too complex to Xplain~~~

Because he has writen it in Chinese ...

I translate and the understanding through the dictionary.
I only am one ordinary participation.

Thankyou Ding Cong for that now I can write 1 2 3 [em05][em01]

I don`t suppose it will help much if I visit China but it`s a start.

I`ll put a font in later and see what happens, all your post`s should hopefully come alive with Chinese symbols. [em01]

Back to work.....[em10]

When I use google,I can see the Korean and Janpanese,but I can not read them.[em02]
A friend of mine said when he visited the Janpanese forum,he found there were many boxes only,too.

Yes but this is good though as it gives you all a chance to practice your English.

Chinese language looks so hard to us as it looks like art, pictures that cannot be written with a biro.

A lot of tattoo`s (body art) are Chinese writing as people are very fond of the artistic nature and think it has supernatural powers.

Here are some

Chinese dragons are also very popular

[em07]Will you change the characters into tattoos?

Those characters are henna tattoo`s that are temporary they come on the sheet like that. [em28]

Is it that there are bad words there ? It has been the case of people having Chinese character tattoo`s here only to find out later the tattoo is something abusive. Rarely do they find out as only the Chinese know and smile silently to themselves. [em02]

Here you can see how money is made from the translation of Chinese characters

There are free chn-eng online translation services provided by Google.

[em05]

But would you trust google when you wanted a tattoo ? [em06]

Try googling some words then google them back and see !!![em02]

I am interested to know how you write at school and college. You can see that English is quite easy and we join the letters together when writing, it doesn`t appear to be that easy in Chinese the pen would alway`s have to leave the paper.

Does each character have a meaning or a phonetic sound ?

Many characters are of the same meaning and many characters sound same or similar.

Which explains why it is a difficult language for us to learn. When we hear Chinese people talk it seem`s so fast that it`s very hard to actually differentiate the sounds. I expect you feel the same about English ![em28]

It is a bright blue sky with lots of sunshine, this morning. We are enjoying a late summer with temperatures at 26-30 C. Have a good day China ![em05]

just tried to translate what you said with google....

Quote " In the building hardly translates with translation software " ...[em28]

What I tried to say to Dis was " Goodbye Dis, enjoy University " [em02][em02]

Well done!I don't know google is also a translation software before.

what I said in #58 is,when I saw what you say in #57,I know you use the translation software because of the expression...
