Chinese Language / Mandarin

**chenchow** · #1 16-11-2003 **Chinese Language / Mandarin**

After the category of Chinese Language is put up, there have been many hits and I know that a few of you have been learning this language that is used by more than 1.5 billion people on earth.

So, this forum would be a good discussion point for those who wish to learn and for those who are proficient to help as much as possible. It will be a very good interaction!!!

What I mean is the Learning Chinese section which we have links to USC and MIT chinese learning syllabus and in fact, for USC, the lecture notes itself. We have seen 49 hits to them as of now.

Syamsul, did you study in an Chinese Ed school before?

cool... Xiao Jie you also can speak it out... hahaha!!

Pomplek is actually Tamil word, means girl but in a quite "rude" way because Tamil Language categorized in a few levels... normally pomplek is not suitable for old ppl...

Like thirdshifter said, leng lui, that is in cantonese. In Mandarin is called mei nu... Anyway, most of the girls will smile at you and drive you crazy if you simply call them Leng Lui... muahahahah !!!!

I am not perfect in Mandarin and when I speak Mandarin, people look at me one kind... but my first gf was a Singaporean, we used to speak in Singlish and Mandarin... on top of this, when I was in secondary school, I like to use computer to type Mandarin/Cantonese song lyrics for my friends... so my Han Yu Ping Yin should be quite OK lor...
