"muchos gracias"  - ack, terrible spanish....  i hope your chinese is better!

La Plume de ma tante est sur le bureau de mon uncle..etc etc. Took me a semester in language lab with the headphones on to master that song & now it's burned in my freakin brain. At least Francais et Espanol are romance languages, one can glimpse the roots & build on them. Chinese is a smooth wall that gives no purchase, the tones ones only guideline. In my case it ain't enough. As much as I'd love to learn Chinese, the only thing I can say about it is it's a good thing I live in New Jersey.

Good luck, I bet your coming along with your studies better than you think. :)

LOL!  Maybe you should do a video on your Chinese to rival this Spanish one.  It would be hilarious.

That's hilarious. My Chinese lyrics were kind of like this... but maybe less direct. hey, cibo matto writes bad grammatical lyrics in English but they're not slackers, they're real musicians who happened to move to the States (;

Haha!  Donde esta baño?  
Immersion is usually the best way to learn a language isn't it?  I owe my Chinese speaking ability to TVB dramas.

nice song .

its nice to know 20 years later that my jr. high school spanish still works!

I bet your Chinese is better than mine!  ;P

oh,oh,Chris~~

Hey, if you look "interesting" to the locals, i.e., like you have lots of money (and are easily bilked), or you may have posed in Playboy (if you are female), then you could be speaking Inuit, badly, and you'd still be beating them off with a stick.  Its like in the US if your friends describe you to members of the opposite sex as "sweet" or "fun to be with", you know its going to be an uphill battle to get any hot dates.  Are the Chinese thrilled when foreigners try and speak the local lingo (however badly), or do they just give you this superior look of contempt for having the gall to mangle their beautiful, ancient language? :-)
