Recommendations for vocabulary learning?

jd144 - Today, 12:09 AM in General Study Advice and Discussion

Hi everyone So i've been learning Mandarin for around a year now. I have a class at university, as well as doing a lot of self study. I also have chinese friends who i (try to) have conversations with. The main problem i have though is vocab. Currently with the books i am using (Chinese in Steps), the lessons appear to be getting really grammatical (currently on chinese in steps v3), and i feel i should be learning more vocab, opposed to this level of grammer. Can anyone offer any hints or tips for vocab...

Applying to Renmin for language studies

icebear - Yesterday, 09:05 PM in Beijing

Does anyone know what the process is? I've been scouring their web page but keep getting to this one: http://en.ruc.edu.cn/104648/78336.html Where all mention of the Chinese language program is just as underlined text (as opposed to a link). Is it because I'm viewing the page on a Mac (and not IE)? Any ideas where I can find the page with official information on the program, application process, etc?

Are dubbed DVDs of western movies easy to find in China?

drungood - Yesterday, 11:39 AM in Life, Work and Study in China in General

I want to buy some western movies/TV shows with Chinese dubs to learn with. I'll be leaving for China in a little over two weeks (going to be in Kunming). There's a site called http://www.chinesedubbed.com/ which has a ton of dubbed content on it, but it's quite expensive. Can I get a better deal on these in China? And it is easy to find shops that sell them?

IUP Chinese Entrance Interview

arete88 - Jan 27 2012 10:07 PM in Beijing

Hello, I've just found out I have been lucky enough to be invited to take the Chinese interview for the IUP language program. I'm just trying to find out a little more about it, as it's been a while since I've formally studied Chinese and I'm pretty rusty. I saw the two posts on here talking about the experience back in 2007, and was just wondering if the interview has changed at all, or if anyone has more up-to-date information? Thank you very much.

Are you a visual learner?

realmayo - Jan 27 2012 09:37 PM in General Study Advice and Discussion

I've noticed articles online about being a visual learner or an auditory learner & so on, but also articles suggesting that's all nonsense. What do people here think?

Graduate School in China – A History Major’s Perspective

kdavid - Jan 27 2012 08:31 PM in Life, Work and Study in China in General

I have been interested in pursuing graduate studies in China since shortly after I first arrived back in 2006. From the time I started researching until I began my first classes in the autumn of 2011, I found there was not a lot of first-hand information available for those curious about pursuing graduate studies on the mainland, especially for non-Chinese-language majors. As such, I’ve written down my experience thus far so that others interested can get some insight. This is a work in progress, and I plan on u...

questions about renting a place in China

panda23 - Jan 27 2012 06:04 PM in Life, Work and Study in China in General

Since the dorms at my school are apparently full, they want me to rent a place during my Chinese study next semester (I will be applying to a master's program at another school for this fall so registering for a year of Chinese now is impractical). My questions are as follows: 1. How hard is it to get a six month rental contract? The univ staff say its possible, but other laowai forums seem to say its not always easy. 2. Do I have to first do the HK visa run or get the school to convert my tourist visa, and...
