Welcome back Oshiro, You must have had a lot of catching up to do before you replied to us last night,didn't you?LOL
Still with your aptitude and attention to key points and details,you caught up with us quite well, I have to admire you for that!LOL Everytime when I am asked of the differences in Chinese,English and Polish,all I have to do is to write the word 'Taiwan"in traditional Chinese. Everyone stares at the 2 characters on the board with wide open eyes and mouth!LOL No explanations necessary,is it?;) I often tell my Polish students how lucky they are to learn English,a language so much easier and so many similar words in their mother tongue already... It's so much more difficult for Chinese to learn English. We have to acquire such a range of vocabulary which is from extremely different alphabetical system. The Chinese language contains no alphabet,only roots which form characters...:( It would be nice for a change to see foreigners learn Chinese for me...LOL They will learn to appeciate the efforts someone like me experienced to try so hard to communicate with them in their language,won't they?LOL Good job,Oshiro! I had trouble deciding which to reply first after I woke up!LOL Good day,eveyone!
