I have been reading and studying a fairly new set of Mandarin Language textbooks known as the “Tuttle Basic Chinese Series” that can be used in the AP level High School or College classroom or by people studying on their own. I will only review the first book in the series “Basic Spoken Chinese” BSC at this time. At later times I will review other volumes in the “Tuttle…

Michael Hurwitz over at "Yoyo Chinese The Official Blog" has written a fine article ( in English ) about some of the US/UK TV shows that are now popular in China.
"Thanks to the advent of Chinese streaming services like Sohu and Youku, it’s easier than ever for Chinese fans to watch their favorite foreign TV shows.
While pirated versions have been available online for years, lately Western content providers have struck…

A May 29, 2014 article over at "The World of Chinese" Internet Site by Keoni Everington (华武杰) does a good job of scratching the surface of the baffling differences between Taiwan Mandarin and Beijing Mandarin. ( It may be relatively baffling probably only to the mostly European language based members of the SMC Site ). Read the article and some of those unknown words you have heard in a Taiwanese movie or song may now make sense. Here is the link:

Olle Linge over at Mandarin.about.com has posted an article of the difficulties involved in listening and understanding what one hears in Mandarin. It is even worse in the real world where sometimes you must determine which language is being spoken and if the speaker is saying a word wrong or using a slang word or mixing languages. It is not uncommon to hear sentences consisting of Mandarin, Cantonese and English all mixed together in some Chinatowns.

I 'm lazy, I must try to translate it in English by myself and then perhaps I will ask you to check my work.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, I wanted to learn more about creating web pages and making programs, that is why I haven't been here on SMC for a certain time...I 'm back because I eventually realized things were a bit too hard so I am almost depressed now, angry with my own poor brain.
Never mind : mastering Mandarin Chinese requires so many efforts, I don't need more goals to achieve, it would be too much !
I'm really thanks for you help. I had wrote a new eases to thank you just now. I invite you to read.
I 've just noticed that you master Chinese and that you are a native English speaker...In my comments related to Snow White Story on my personal page, I displayed that Chinese text 小乌龟找工作 with the audio. However, I would need a good translation in English. May I ask you ? My English is not bad but is not perfect. If you give me your translation, I would copy and paste it inside my article...Perhaps, you are too busy. I can understand.
Hey Thomas! Sorry I didn't noticed your post on my profile until today,
I've heard of 小凤凤 she is also known as 童欣 if I'm not mistaken,
I often see her singing Hokkien songs and Chinese New Years Songs,
I'm not sure about her background, in fact it is very rare that Malayisan singer are exposed in the media, the tabloid mostly write about Hong Kong singer, Taiwanese singer or Korean. I did some research and found these;
小凤凤原名:林小鳳Joyce Lim也叫童欣,出道:10歲,1985年
Xiao Feng Feng birth name: Línxiǎofèng
Stage name: 小凤凤
also known as: Joyce Lim/ Tóng xīn
her first debut: 1985 when she's 10years old.
I didn't hear any news about 童欣 got married, I'm always not concern about artists' private life :P but probably my mother will know, I'll ask around :)
have a nice day!
Hey Tom,
Welcome from a native North Quincy man now living with my wife in Falmouth. Retired from IT career most of which was at Yale University in New Haven, CT.
I studied Mandarin back in the sixties for the government and based in Taipei.
I am trying to refresh my knowledge in both spoken and written (which I once knew about 600 characters, but now back to ground zero) and spread the culture and language via my novels....see www.gordonmathieson.com
Talk later
