WOW! That's a whole bunch of you guys! hahahahhahaha I can't wait to hear you all saying it back to me! hahahhahahaahahaha

Mike Burn learnt loads of Cantonese when I was in Germany - he still remembers some of it! He now visits on Chinese restaurants I think :lol

Steve! Yes EIGHT bloody tones! Formal teachers will tell you things like 'the long rising tone' 'the flat tone' 'the short rising tone' - ME? I'll say things like 'the surprised tone' 'the shocked tone' 'the sexy tone'

well, that's a long story....

let's just say she became very "close" with my business partner's girlfriend.....

OOoooOOpps..

too much information.....

lol..

It's all kinda funny in retrospect, though..

so.. - I guess you speak 4 languages, then???

wow.

I was proud of speaking 2....

bbchris · Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2002 2:32 pm Post subject: Re: I will be attending class !!!

No no no! I speak English & Cantonese fluently. I studied French & German at school. So I'm bad at those languages! I can get by in Mandarin, and if I can keep going to Taiwan it will really improve

I'm back in HK btw :banana
