I'm still struggling along with conversational Chinese - nevermind the ancient Chinese classics. And you're here debating Shakespearian English with me! :-)<br /><br />I guess what I was getting at was that after a few months after finishing the Heisig book 1, is that book (or the influence of the book) anywhere to be seen? I've read many books that had no influence on me whatsoever, and so the question was whether the book could be "seen" in my life now. Hopefully it was clear - the answer is definitely yes!Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197148648944758867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674533288609171573.post-65312835697587945162010-02-24T08:50:01.569+08:002010-02-24T08:50:01.569+08:00春节快乐!

I think the ones that you are familiar with will become the ones that you use a lot, and so become more and more familiar. :-) So congratulations.<br /> <br />Some headsup: Faye Wong came back to stage on the spring festival party on CCTV1 with a song called "legend"(传奇).<br /> <br />P.S I have a question regarding the ancient English here. I recall that "wherefore art thou Romeo" means "why are you Romeo", so the structure of the headline of this blog post seems a bit strange to me. Could you tell me what this headline means here?<br /><br />Hope you well,<br />XYXYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032390082341895706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674533288609171573.post-50940353923003605542010-02-20T07:11:17.400+08:002010-02-20T07:11:17.400+08:00Hey Kara.

I've actually watched two movies this week in Mandarin off TV (Shanghai Triad, and Curse of the Golden Flower). Although they had English subtitles, I tried to ignore that as much as I could - which wasn't easy.<br /><br />Have you tried doing different stuff like that, to generate some excitement and some momentum?<br /><br />Good luck!<br />GregGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197148648944758867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674533288609171573.post-49367783926863481652010-02-19T21:07:34.503+08:002010-02-19T21:07:34.503+08:00Please tell me you have MSN Greg O_O I want to cha...Please tell me you have MSN Greg O_O I want to chat with you!!! (in Chinese of course) :D<br /><br />I haven't been able to study Chinese lately and I've actually been feeling a bit unmotivated. So I know if I study with someone who loves the language as much as I do it'll be fun and a cool new learning experience (plus that we both learned in two different ways)<br /><br />I have Skype on my computer (it came with it) but I don't use it much. However, I totally understand what you mean with the lines of Chinese going down the screen. I love that feeling :)<br /><br />Keep in touch!<br /><br />KaraKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960057016011606588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674533288609171573.post-24508339578251970462010-02-19T16:15:01.238+08:002010-02-19T16:15:01.238+08:00Hi Erick, thanks for your comment.

I tried it, but I didn't really enjoy it - and much preferred the extra value I got by using the actual book to revise.<br /><br />Which is odd, beacuse I use Anki for compound words & sentences - so not sure why it didn't "gel" for my Heisig revision.<br /><br />Thanks again for your input.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197148648944758867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674533288609171573.post-37833541165520376702010-02-19T12:44:10.976+08:002010-02-19T12:44:10.976+08:00One piece of advice: Use an SRS, like Anki.One piece of advice: Use an SRS, like Anki.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12730425591381265967noreply@blogger.com
