Esperanto in China (世界語在中國裡, Esperanto en Ĉinujo)

Demian - Yesterday, 08:18 PM in Society

How many people speak Esperanto in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan? Can you speak this language? Do you even know what Esperanto is? 在中國、台灣和香港裡多少人會說世界語?你會說這語言嗎?你知道不知道世界語是什麼? Kiom da personoj scipovas paroli Esperanton en Ĉinujo, Hongkongo kaj Tajvano? Ĉu vi scipovas paroli la lingvon? Ĉu vi eĉ scias, kio estas Esperanto? They say several thousand people speak the language in China. I was wondering if one of them happens to be among us. 謝謝!

About 了 and time

Demian - Yesterday, 07:07 PM in Grammar, Sentence Structures and Patterns

Is this sentence correct: 昨天下雨了,可是今天沒下雨。(It rained yesterday but it hasn't rained today.) I am confused: (1) If the use of 了 is correct alongside 昨天, and (2) If I can use 了 with 今天.

2nd/3rd Tier Cities for Business... Fuzhou?

scoopneals - Jun 16 2013 02:49 PM in Life, Work and Study in China in General

Hello, I'm currently living in Shaanxi, but looking to move to South China (I think?) in about 2 months.  I had my mind set on Shenzhen, but recently I've started to have ideas about 2nd/3rd tier cities.  I am interested in entrepreneurship. Specifically what I'm looking for is a place that has a lot of disconnect with the west, but is looking to grow & expand.  Places that are hungry for development, but are not on the level of the well known 1st tier cities....

When you first arrived to China what words/expressions were the most useful?

kotkoda - Jun 15 2013 02:59 PM in General Study Advice and Discussion

I'll be spending a summer in China, and my Chinese is VERY limited (technically non-existent). If you are a foreigner and didn't know Chinese before you got to China, what were those words/expressions you first found the most useful? Any advice is appreciated.

Playstation 4 and Xbox One

Touchstone57 - Jun 15 2013 01:31 PM in Chinese Computing and Electronics

Hello, I wondered if there are any gamers out there who are currently in China and what people's experiences are with gaming consoles? Hopefully everyone is keeping abreast of current news, as Microsoft and Sony have announced the release of the next gen consoles and given details. I'd love to get my hands on one - but I don't know how easy it would be in China. Do people have experience of importing games to China? Is it easy and if so where do you get them from? (I don't want to be dealing w...

cheaper alternatives to scritter

Cavesa - Jun 15 2013 12:41 AM in Chinese Characters

I would love to use the Scritter. But since I saw it the first time, they have removed the option to prepay for longer time for reduced price and I'm afraid paying 14 dollars a month for about five years might be too much for me. I am a student so I need to think twice what to put my money into. Old fashioned paper and pen lacks the SRS, which bothers me quite a lot. And it is easier to use the tablet when out of home. But there is a more important question. Does it work? How many times would I need to repe...

experience with shipping from blcup.com?

Cavesa - Jun 15 2013 12:28 AM in Resources for Studying Chinese

So, following advice from this forum, I have started exploring the Chinese language and culture. Despite temporary lack of time, I'm enjoying learning pinyin and the tones even though there is a long road before me to trully master the basic pronunciation of Mandarin. I am using some of the free websites recommended and one of the pinyin apps on ipad. It is time for me to consider the next step. I'm not in a hurry so I am taking time to look at the options. Both what to learn from and where to get it....
