    Hey Chris

    Yeah the tones can be difficult and they really sound exotic.

    I have bought MANY books about teaching Mandarin as a second language.

    It is really funny for me,.. I am a chinese but I have to buy books to study Mandarin.

    I found that not every chinese can teach chinese… You need to be able to explain why.. Why this sentence is corret and the other is not… etc..

    I have been studying how to teach the chinese characters..

    cuz i found that some people give up learning Chinese because of the chinese characters are too difficult and each chinese character looks like a picture…

    but there are some connections between many chinese characters..

    they didnt just come out that way..

    i have written an article about that..

    Here are some of my ideas:

    many foreigners complains about the chinese characters are too hard to write and to keep in mind. (actually i should not say” complain”.. it is true that they are difficult to write)

    Yeah,it is hard. But you have to find some connection between some words.Also,memorizing the radicals of chinese characters is the best way to learn how to write and memorize chinese words. For instance, “イ” is a radical which is about people,so we call is “Ren Zi Pang”in Chinese. Many words connected with people and people’s activities are made with “イ” ,such as,”你(you)” You is a certain person. “他(he)”,he is also a certion person,right? and”休(rest)”,that’s people’s activities,right? And 木 means trees, people lying near the tree,that means people are taking a rest,See? There’s always some connections that help you memorize the words.Let me give you more examples, in ancient China, we use shells as our currency, and the Chinese charater for shells is 贝。Nowadays,many Chinese words that relate to money and currency still have the component of “贝”,I can give you many examples here. The chinese charater for currency now is 货币(You can see the component “贝” is still a part of the word. And the word for finance or treasure is “财”(“贝” is still a part of the word.) As for the word “贩(sell)”, “贝” is still a part of the word. Same with the words “贫(poor)”, “购(buy)”, “贿(bribe)”, “赌(gamble)”, “账(account,bill)” 。There are countless examples like these, once you find the connection, it will become a lot easier to master the Chinese characters.

    I love Jim Rogers’ books. He is awesome.

    He travelled around the world twice, literally!!! first time on a motorbike and the second time with a SPECIAL sports car.

    I love “Capitalist Adventure” “A gift to my Children” and in the books there are some unique views about China.

    And Jim Rogers wrote “A Bull in China”, i haven’t read this one but anyway it is kind of popular. and Jim is really a excellent investor!

    On a diet.

    Maybe just one apple and a banana.

    But I usually cook myself some fried eggs with tomota,

    some mushrooms,and some sausage.

    Home-made sauasage is the best!!
