    Why don’t you cover China’s financial support of the genocide in Darfur?

    Or the horrific animal abuses, human rights abuses (10 years of prison for blogging, just one example), to Tibet, to horrible environmental standards, to poisoning us here in the states…

    Coke, McDonald’s, GE, ADIDAS, and others are Supporters of the Genocide Olympics.

    Google “the color orange.”

    Think the olympics shouldn’t be political? TELL THAT TO CHINA:

    Google: “China revokes visa of gold medalist”

    I find that learning chinese with the roman latin alphabet kind of screws you over in
    the long run when trying to improve pronounciation.

    Did you hear how much he was emphasizing the “z” sounds whenever it showed up?

    drop your forks and spoons and listen carefully.

    mimic these sounds and you’ll be chinese.

    enunciation and pronunciation is the easiest part…im in highschool learning chinese..it has no alphabet..theres roughly 50,000 characters and in order to learn one u gotta learn the pronunciation then the written form & the order of strokes

    Is there any difference if you add the “shi” to “bu”? Is bu the same as bu shi?

    @SourExplosion bu is the negating word. So ‘Wo hao is ‘ I’m good, ‘Wo bu hao’ is I’m not good. I’m very early into learning the language but this was one of my first lessons lol.
