» 松柏長青 --?
I really have trouble with some of these four-hanzi sayings.

Can someone help me with the meaning (and implication) of this one? 松柏長青.

I really appreciate it!

» Yunnan Daxue vs Yunnan Shifan Daxue
I know there are a couple of posts on this forum, but all are rather outdated and none really helps me.
I have to decide pretty soon, which university in China to attend to study Chinese. I am advanced intermediate level learner and have been in touch with both universities every now and then. Both seem alright, Yunnan Shifan Daxue seems to have a lot more foreigners/westerners, though.
I would really appreciate it, if anybody out... [Read More]

» Best Cities for learning Mandarin
I plan on moving my family to China for 2-3 years. I'd like my daughter (age 6) to learn the Mandarin dialect that will be most useful to her as a Chinese-American adult. Our plan is to enroll her in school while we are there.

We are trying to decipher which cities speak which dialects.

I assume that the most useful Mandarin dialect to a international person in the year 2020 would be Hanyu. (correct me if that is... [Read More]

» Where can I find a decent Japanese restaurant in Beijing?
Does anyone know any really good Japanese restaurants in Beijing? As in good I mean with a good ambience and nice food (that is hopefully not to crazily priced!)

Thanks!

» How do you translate 高考into English grades
Just interviewed a Chinese for a graduate job. He graduated from a European university but had done A-levels in China. He proceeded to "translate" the 高考grades into A,B,C,D etc. However, I thought this was not so straighforward. I also thought that 高考分数 was different from region to region. So for example the highest possible grades in one region might not be the same in another region which uses a different calculation. Can... [Read More]

In the 80s and 90s there was an experiment in Heilongjiang province with the so called ZT method of teaching. ZT is short for "Zhuyin Shizi, Tiqian Duxie" 注音识字,提前读写 (‘Phonetically Annotated Recognition Promotes Earlier Reading and Writing’). With this method children were meant to achieve full literacy in Pinyin before they began to learn Characters, compared to learning Pinyin just for the standard pronunciation.... [Read More]
