Learn chinese the easy way

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Man those are great. Well I thought chinese will be hard to learn.

Very informative. Now all I need is to get a ticket for a one way trip to China. Can you help me with some other phrases, like 'Where is the McDonalds?' or maybe 'Why so tight in the subway?', or other things like that? It would really help.

Seen those before, but they deserve a rerun...



Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

I'm not really too thrilled about making fun of other cultures...

@freighter fighter: I posted this before (some things were different, but the majority of them were the same). Still, it's good stuff, so repeating is okay, IMO.

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

LMAO...nice ones.. i'll say i'm a bit taken back.. i have part chinese ancestry (sp?) but well, one joke ain't gonna spark anything tho. there's a s'porean dictionary..

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.
