When you look at this picture, what is the first thing you read? Just curious to hear others responses. My professor used this as a learning test for Chinese/English speakers while I was in China. http://www.cognitive-china.org/china_small4.jpgJust as further explanation, there are two words in this picture. My teacher used to compare the responses of native English speakers learning Chinese, and native Chinese speakers learning English. Let me know what you think ^^

sure it is interesting, but i'm telling you, the calligrapher is good, but is it not match 中國, but 中一國 in vertical writing. and there is nothing wrong or misunderstand in english version "china" but in chinese it is abit mistake, and you can't denie the "一“ letter's existing.

no, the picture or the writing is wrong then. there is "one" in the middle. the word "N" in chiNa, makes it wrong in 國
