egret,

Great article. Thanks mate. I love pidgin and hadn't come across the Chinese Pidgin English before. I'd love to see more examples.

I guess there's no English Pidgin Chinese [at least officially, hehe] ?

paul,

at 2m 33s I think it's:

表示强调这当中那个词

强调...emphasize

这....this, 当中....among....in other words the word in the midst of this sentence

6m02s 这里指得是她的态度很随便也没有想太多

态度。。。attitude

not sure about the 得 here...you're better at grammar than me...maybe it should be 的？

9m35s 这个也是很常见的一个结构“只要”什么什么“就”

常见...commonly seen

结构...structure...referring to grammatical structure

"a name which a teacher or friend gave you) only to be met with giggles"

..I can understand a Chinese friend giving an amusing name as a joke [or an unwitting choice by a fellow learner], but I can only assume in those cases where the teacher gave it, there was some oversight..some connection not made?

I'd love to hear some examples of these tragic mistakes.
