Hello,
I have just a simple task to solve, however, I don't speak Chinese. I need to translate following title into Chinese: "Treasuser of Yellow Emperor". I've found symbols, but I don't know how they should be ordered.

I would really appreciate help. Thanks a lot.

» Photography enthusiasts in Beijing?
I'm starting this thread so that I might get to know some of the photography enthusiasts in Beijing. There are so many great places to shoot around the city, and it would be great to go with some fellow photographers so I don't feel guilty about forcing my friends to accompany me when I know they don't want to stay at one place for too long.

So please feel free to introduce yourself and what you're... [Read More]

» Learning efficiently and effectively
Hi,

I'm learning chinese since more than a year now. Started like a crash course for a trip, so I know a lot of things like subway, taxi, bus, rice, vegetables, I want to go there, which bus etc.

Then I started to do it in a more structured way and bought the first three books of New Practical Chinese Reader and made it to chapter 7, book one. But I'm really not interested in words like... [Read More]

» Opinions on where to study :)
All right so I made a similar thread a year ago but things are a tad different now..
My college gives me the opportunity to study in any of the following places in China for a year: Nanjing, Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Harbin, Hong Kong, and Xi'an.
-I was looking for a place to study that I would be able to get by only being able to speak Putonghua and English along with having good nightlife ... [Read More]

» Debating between CET Harbin or Bincai
Hi everyone,

I definitely want to study Chinese and be fully immersed. After reading many forums, it seems Harbin is a great place to learn and avoid the "er" sound which I really dislike. The only problem is I don't know which program to choose: either CET Harbin or Bincai. Could some people give some more pros and cons or experiences and tell me what they think?

The most... [Read More]

» Unexpected readings of phonetic components
I wanted to start a thread to collect characters whose phonetic component deviates in some big way.

As we all know, many characters that share phonetic components (音符) are not proniunced the same. Often, it's just a difference in tone, sometimes a difference in voicedness (historically, now usually a difference in aspiration and affrication).

So please post your favourite examples... [Read More]

» Short term storage in Beijing - any tips?
Hello gang

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on medium-term (4-5 months) storage options in Beijing for household effects (furniture and stuff)?

I'm going to move out at the end of this lease, take a long holiday, and find somewhere new to live when I get back.

I've searched here on the forum with little luck so I wondered if someone had any... [Read More]
