How can it be this loud? This is a restaurant,
not a dance club. This is so annoying!

I’m having so much fun!!! This is my first time trying to write characters in this size and with a thicker pen. (I know it’s not perfect, especially with how crowded the 2nd line is, but oh well…)
It’s Romans 1:16:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
最好離我遠遠的！ “You better stay away from me!”

Sorry for my absence! I was super busy over Chinese New Year break. Hopefully I can post more regularly now.
Anyone want to proofread a few simple Chinese sentences for me? Message me please.
I’ve mentioned before that, with Chinese, numbers are sometimes used to represent other Chinese meanings with similar sounds.
Well, today is a very special day:
2013 1 4
Without bothering with tones, those numbers are pronounced:
er ling yi san yi si
which supposedly sounds similar to
愛你一生一世 ai ni yi sheng yi shi
or,
Love you for life
Happy 201314!!!!I’v study chinese b4 and maybe bc im not chinese but er ling and ai ni do not sound the same at all no mater if you bother with tones. The last part yi san yi si and yi sheng yi shi, I do understand
Haha, yeah, I definitely agree that it’s a stretch…. but I just accept what I’m taught :P
新年快樂
xīn nián kuài lè
Happy New Year!

I know, I know, Chinese is so cool.
That awkward moment mid-English tutoring session when you realize that, for the last year and a half, you’ve been using the Russian word for Texas and assuming it was Chinese. lol FAIL.

Giving or accepting favors in Asia comes with a certain amount of obligation, so this is a great phrase to be able to say and to recognize.
