November 9, 2007 at 4:02 AMConnie, 谢谢你！我想我因该学五笔字输入法。用拼音打字太容易会忘记汉字怎么写。我现在觉的认字容易，写字越来越难啦！ 不过，对外国人来说打字有一定的优点。比方说，打字时，输入软体会猜出你想写什么（还会完成你的句子）。如果它猜得出来，你会知道你的说法是正确的。猜不出来的话呢， 你就知道你说的不对 （就是说，你的说法不像中国人一样）。

November 9, 2007 at 3:51 AM我觉得谷歌的输入法软体蛮不错吧。但是没有繁体字版吗？好像所有的打繁体字的软体是用注音符号输入法的， 而不是用拼音的。我说的不对马？

November 9, 2007 at 3:40 AM我用的输入法就是Microsoft的Chinese(PRC), 好像最适合外国人就是用拼音的那种输入法。岂不是马？:-) 只有那种不折不扣的中国人才会用五笔字型吧！ P.S.: 我马上要下载谷歌的拼音输入法看看它怎么样啦！

November 8, 2007 at 2:16 AMFor TaiPan's benefit, I'd like to point out that in Hawaiian, the word for computer is also "electric brain", or "lolo uila".

November 8, 2007 at 2:15 AMThis is my favorite lesson so far! I learned so much. None of this was around when I was in China seven years ago, obviously. Oh, and I totally pronounce 这样子 as 酱紫!!! I love this thing. I'd never type that though. :-) Henning, RJBurki and Amber beat me to it! That's exactly what I'd say, too... Rich, I love your 小叮当picture!

November 7, 2007 at 2:19 AMAmber, you forgot the most important phrases from an American's perspective (maybe because you're Canadian): I'm going to sue you! 我会起诉你 Next time I see you will be in court! Let's see what Judge Judy will say about this! 我们下次见面会在法院里！看Judy法官会说什么呢！ I don't want to go to the hospital, I want to go to my lawyer's office! 我不想去医院， 我却要去律师的办公室！ (Okay, my attempt at humor)

November 9, 2007 at 3:17 PM(1) I'd like to add one to the list: 亚美尼亚 = Armenia (2) mmdoldovan, (a) I don't think that wanting to know a foreigner's nationality is terribly Chinese. I think everyone does this, (b) I don't think it's fair to generalize and say that the "Chinese hate the Japanese so much". There is a history there, but I won't go into that here, you can look it up in any textbook or online, (c) re: your final question, I don't think so, mainly because I don't think you can generalize one billion people as all having the same view towards non-Western countries. Moreover, I never found this to be the case. If anything, I would think people (anywhere) would be more intrigued to meet someone from Bangladesh, as opposed to someone from the United States. Hope this helps.
