Posted on: Buying High-Speed Train Tickets
February 23, 2012 at 11:34 AMI have some experience with this. Normally using putonghua is no problem, but even still, it is good to have the train number, the departure and destination cities listed on a sheet of paper in case there is some misunderstanding. Especially becareful not to mix cities up, i.e. Suzhou/Xuzhou. Having the cities written in Chinese may be helpful.

February 22, 2012 at 3:06 PMDoes this mean that '我么老实人一个' could be translated as 'regarding me, I am an honest person'. Do I understand this correctly? Thanks.

February 15, 2012 at 3:53 PMfor me, when I think of the difference in sound between "she" and "shi", I think of the "she" as a more gutteral sound, kind of like being punched in the stomach when pronouncing the 'e' part. "Shi" doesn't have that. The same is true for the "che" and "chi" situation. To me, the 'e' sounds kind of like 'uh' in english. However, I am not an expert on this topic, but I hope this helps.

Posted on: Employee Exercises
May 29, 2012 at 4:20 AMI have seen this type of situation, and sometimes it is quite interesting to watch. Normally, it would be a group of salespeople doing exercises in front of a store. I also see this type of thing in front of restaurants. It reminds me of my time in the military. ;)
