    奴拉格古代的社会 The ancient nuragic civilization 在萨丁亚有很多史前的痕迹，包括奴拉格，小铜像和小仙女的家，都是铜器时代建造的。 你逛着乡村可以看见这些比较高的建筑： 奴拉格看到一下子就能认得出，它们有塔形状。奴拉格是一种主要萨丁尼亚史前的建筑。萨丁亚的风景还有七千奴拉格站起来。谁说奴拉格是一座墓穴，还有谁说是一种塔。 在萨丁亚还有一座小的雕塑和一种史前的痕迹： 除了其他手工艺的创造以外，小铜像也许代表战士的英气或日常生活的工具。小铜像的个子三十九公分。 小仙女的家是凿透岩石的墓穴建筑。根据一个故事，“很久前在萨丁亚生活着一起一种很小的古人和一种很大的古人。大古人住在奴拉格，小古人住在这些洞穴”。 有时很多小仙女家跟别的小仙女家联系，创造一个大幕地。那里墙面上你还看岩石的象形。 今天那些铜器时代建造代表萨丁尼亚的文明，奴拉格被考古学家考虑过在欧洲最大的巨石建筑。 Small glossary: 奴拉格 [奴拉格] nu2la1ge2 nuraghe 小仙女家 [小仙女家] xiao3xian1nü3jia1 • fairy

    推荐一项活动: 马拉动 马拉动是一项体育，也是一项奥林匹克运动会。 没有人不知道马拉动是什么，也不知道菲迪皮德斯的故事。但（是）大多人作慢跑活动。 慢跑是之一最容易的活动。年轻人，老人都能慢跑因为（你）只需要/需要只一双运动鞋和一点时间出去在你附近公园慢跑就好。你会跟朋友们或者一个人慢跑。 我不是说马拉动是个生活方式，也（不是说）（慢跑）跟瑜伽一样轻松。我是说，这是我最喜欢的活动因（为）我跑的时候，跑得远但是跑得慢慢。但是天天找到一半小时慢跑。 如我中国朋友告诉我/给我说： “时间是海绵里的水，挤一挤还是有的” 鲁迅 Thanks to my Chinese friend (and iTalki user) "Kim" for the awesome (and of course meaningful) quote from Lu Xun!

    Hi Xialin! I'm not a native speaker but I've been studying Chinese for three years, during which I adopted and improved my own way of studying Chinese. I'd say first of all that even if they tell you that you must be young enough to become fluent in any language, it's only partially true: you see, there is a say in 'language acquisition' that goes "younger is faster, older is better"; so your chances of getting good on Chinese are not based on how old are you, but instead (and most importantly) on how much comprehensible is the input of Chinese. In short, you just need to start from the basics even with the material you make use of, like starting with a Chinese cartoon for children, otherwise you might fall in what linguists call 'interference', which is incredibly variable and brings advantages half the time. Last but not least, it has been demonstrated that learners of a foreign language so different as English-Chinese tend to learn slower than someone who is learning say English-French, but they improve faster over time (for me it was two years). Now that I rambled for too much, even I wish to know more about suggestions for improvement from native speakers ^-^

    Hello, my name is Sunny. I'm a college student. I can speak chinese well,and i want to learn English.

     


    Chinese

    as a rule of the English language, every proper noun or adjective which indicates a language or a nationality must have the first letter capitalized, for example:

     

    the English language

    my (level of) English

    in English

    the Chinese language

    my (level of) Chinese

    in Chinese

     

    I

    by convention, the first-person singular pronoun has always been written capitalized.

     

    One last thing:

    I think the comma right before "and" is an error. Is not important but I know it's common among Chinese speakers.

    Is it because in Chinese it would be like this? "我说汉语说得很好，还要学会英语"

     



    You did great for a short notebook entry, well done!

    che cosa fai oggi

    è 'lunedi oggi❶, per fortuna non ho bisogno di andare in ufficio, ho appena alzato➀, e ho guardato la TV, non so cosa fare oggi pomeriggio, credo che mi limiterò a andare al piano di sotto, godere➁ il mio tempo libero.❷

     

    ❶ "Oggi è lunedì" would be the most formal and correct form, but also "È lunedì oggi" is ok;

     

    ➀ "Mi sono appena alzato": "mi" is the reflexive (often present in Italian);
    The main reason why we use "essere" instead of "avere" is because in 我刚起床 the main verb "to wake up" is referred to a state of who wakes up.

    For example:
    我刚起床 I've (just) woke up -> (Io) mi sono appena alzato;
    我把茶杯拿起来 I've lifted the cup of tea up -> (Io) ho alzato la tazza di te.

     

    ➁ "..., a godermi il mio tempo libero"
    Nice! This would've been correct if it wasn't for another reflexive that is missing;

     

    ❷One more note here: look up for your punctuation! Put a little more dots and you're good to go ;)
