Title: very interesting blog post about language
Post by: Neil on July 08, 2011, 03:09:08 am

I read a very interesting blog post about learning Chinese (Mandarin).  It includes some good resources and it was a good read.  It's worth checking out:

I stumbled across an internet sensation I think you guys might like (or at least your wives).  We've all heard of Dashan, the Canadian guy that can speak Mandarin like a native.  Well, check this lady out:  http://www.wjla.com/articles/2011/11/how-do-you-say-internet-sensation-in-chinese--68850.html (http://www.wjla.com/articles/2011/11/how-do-you-say-internet-sensation-in-chinese--68850.html)  It's a shame Youtube isn't available in China - I'd love to hear what my wife thinks of her videos.
