Anastasia13 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 What did I miss? Dust is making some changes in the forum soon, such as Winchester will now be an admin. Hasan left to study reform Judiasm. Lillabett is now a Harvard professor. Oh, and Phatmass will have a show on VH1 this fall. That's about it. All pretty much life as usual around these parts.

Amppax Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Ah, same old same old. I figured as much. So how is everyone? I see some familiar faces, but it seems like a lot of people have disappeared. Of course, that's been the case my entire time here. I'm now a college graduate, a poor broke grad student, and a research assistant. Nihil mad props for knowing any Mandarin. My siblings took it one year, and it didn't seem like fun. It's tonal, isn't it? So the meaning changes based on your tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I actually thought it was a lot of fun. I just could have used maybe 15-20% more time to do everything. :P I felt a little bit rushed with our class schedule. It is tonal, so basically you can say several words that use the same sounds, but the tone you are using means you can say several completely different words. Plus, since Mandarin is phonetically rather limited, there are tons of homophones. :P Made things a bit confusing occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
