陳德聰 Posted March 10, 2016 at 03:34 PM Report Posted March 10, 2016 at 03:34 PM So if I want to sound like a teenage girl... 1 Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted March 12, 2016 at 02:34 AM Report Posted March 12, 2016 at 02:34 AM Yeah, probably is a group of teens (though honestly I didn't know the kids these days were even still using QQ). Anyhow, I'm sure plenty of language-learning teens would be happy to join. @OP, a few writing pointers: - Break your writing up with sentences and paragraphs. If you just keep using commas, your readers don't have time to "breathe". - Learn about spacing rules for punctuation in English. In general, put one space after and no spaces before any of these: , . ? ! : ; - There is no standard of 繁体字 that always uses the most complex/obscure variant. "壹" is very uncommon in running text, and "妳" is only for if you're addressing women/girls exclusively (like 他/她). Even then I think a lot of people don't use it. 2 Quote
Shelley Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:06 AM Report Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:06 AM 泥们嚎 Sounds like 你们好, doesn't look like it, different meanings too. Something going on here that I have not encountered? Quote
yueni Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:32 AM Report Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:32 AM @Shelley That's a common way of textual expression among the younger set in China, using words that sound like other words. (Though I myself have never used those specific characters myself for 你们好.) So in that case, they just go for the phonetic meaning. Amongst my friends, we often type out 童鞋, even though we mean 同学. We all obviously know that 同学们 is what we are meaning to type, but 童鞋们 for whatever reason, is just something we've gotten used to typing. I assume in the beginning it was more of a cutesy way of expressing the words, since it started with the girls amongst my group of friends, but the guys do it now, too. 1 Quote
Shelley Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:46 AM Report Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:46 AM Thanks for the clarification yueni. Well as a learner who really doesn't need confusing things like this, it is one more reason I won't be joining. It is odd that they are using QQ, I thought wechat had mostly taken over from QQ. Quote
朱真明 Posted March 12, 2016 at 06:18 PM Report Posted March 12, 2016 at 06:18 PM Thanks for the invite but I must say that your English is terrible. When you say that your major is in teaching English I hope that means you have just started it this year. I see no reason to assume that if I learnt from you I would sound like a teenage girl nor do I have an issue with you saying 'wanna" in colloquial speech. Futhermore regarding "泥們嚎", I noticed straight away that it was a pun without even thinking, I honestly don't see the difficulty. On a final note, I'm not going to assume that your that stupid and don't know the difference between 壹/一 and 你/妳 and how there suppose to be used in running text. It is clear that you used a software to translate between 簡體字 and 繁體字. Next time you should check it before posting. Quote
Flickserve Posted March 13, 2016 at 04:21 AM Report Posted March 13, 2016 at 04:21 AM I found the replies and comments on the Chinese quite interesting and helpful. Won't comment in the English of the OP except that it should improve as he or she progresses further in the course. 1 Quote

Using many slang words doesn't necessarily make a foreign learner sound native. If anything, it often makes the person an object of mockery. 1 Quote

朱真明 Posted March 14, 2016 at 09:40 AM Report Posted March 14, 2016 at 09:40 AM I wasn't correcting someone's English, I commented on their English. I think making an error between your and you're isn't nearly as bad as not being able to comprehend basic words. Quote

Popular Post Chris Two Times Posted March 14, 2016 at 12:10 PM Popular Post Report Posted March 14, 2016 at 12:10 PM To be honest some of the attitude given to the OP has been disappointing. I would expect much better from these forums. A blatant lack of sympathy (read: a supposed common understanding of language learners) is a bit disgusting here. If you're not interested, just say no and move on. Polite feedback on how the OP could have better presented herself is naturally appropriate, but there's certainly no need to up the ante with such vitriol and obtuse snideness. Warm regards, Chris Two Times 9 Quote
Guest realmayo Posted March 14, 2016 at 01:05 PM Report Posted March 14, 2016 at 01:05 PM A blatant lack of sympathy (read: a supposed common understanding of language learners) is a bit disgusting here. I agree 100%. Are people really saying that the only Chinese people they want to interact with are those who present themselves the same way that Westerners present themselves? On the surface at least, this could be a useful cooperative resource for some people. Plus to say that you don't want to be able to understand how young people use Chinese online ... is a peculiar attitude to take. Sure, it might not be a priority, but it wouldn't it be a waste of time. Presumbably a not insignificant slice of the internet is written in that very demotic. Quote
