I thought this kind of thing just happened in the Middle East, where I am living now.<br /><br />It would be very interesting to learn more about that, to find out what are the things China finds offensive/inappropriate.<br /><br />www.inaier.blogspot.cominaiehttp://www.inaier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-3793873820239694882009-06-03T02:05:38.433-05:002009-06-03T02:05:38.433-05:00Hi YJ Wu.

To answer your question, I can't really read traditional characters.<br /><br />During a movie or at another time when I can see traditional characters, I can understand a few of them. But there are so many I can't read.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-44026592865346410762009-06-03T00:02:47.493-05:002009-06-03T00:02:47.493-05:00Hi Mark, I just discover this blog accidentally. ...Hi Mark, I just discover this blog accidentally. It's very insteresting to see your perspective. Just like how I have struggled in learning English for such a long time. Now foreigners also start to learn Chinese, too! I have a question: can you also recognize traditional Chinese characters? I knew some friends who are Chinese and from Mainland China have no problem to read traditional Chinese characters. What about you?Sally Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755420107902105590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-50611652563746562452009-05-28T09:55:31.228-05:002009-05-28T09:55:31.228-05:00Hey Jean.

Your family could use one too to see your blog from China.<br /><br />The two proxy servers I usually choose from are:<br /><br />www.zend2.com<br /><br />www.proxyboxonline.com<br /><br />You just go to that site and then have them type in the address of your blog, and they'll be able to see it!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-53405918473973731722009-05-26T01:39:17.795-05:002009-05-26T01:39:17.795-05:00Hi, Mark

I suppose it could be translated to "Developing Chinese."<br /><br />Here are a couple links to the books - <br /><br />http://www.bookschina.com/1377472.htm - Book 1<br /><br />http://www.bookschina.com/1443721.htm - Book 2<br /><br />I think these books are good. They're hard, but I think pretty useful.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-45365249184446425032009-05-25T10:28:04.312-05:002009-05-25T10:28:04.312-05:00Thanks for sharing that, she was obviously someone...Thanks for sharing that, she was obviously someone special in your life. Hey can you tell me if those first two books have an english name 发展汉语 or possibly a link so I can try and track them down. I am in the process of learning Chinese and would love the material. Also, glad to see your talk of being less prolific was just a threat, your blog is great, and I personally love reading personal antecdotes like this mixed in with your topical stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
