    Mi Primera Entrada en Español Holá, me llamo Dominic, y yo vivo en California. Soy un estudiante de posgrado de las lenguas y la literature de China, y actualmente estoy cursando mi maestría. Vivía en Taiwán por cerca de tres años, y hablo Mandarín y Cantonés con fluidez. Como muchos Americanos, estudié Español durante cuatro años en la escuela secundaria. Disfruté el aprendizaje de la lengua, y desarrollé buena pronunciación, pero no tenía ninguna oportunidad de practicar el idioma fuera de clase. Por lo tanto, yo nunca aprendí a hablar bien el idioma. Quiero rectificar eso! Creo que tengo una buena base en Español, pero necesito mejorar mi comprensión oral y capacidad de habla. He estado usando italki.com practicar mi Cantonés, y espero poder utilizarla para ayudarme a estudiar español, así!

    A Typhoon came (1)

    When a typhoon came to struck my city last summer (2), the sky clouded over and the wind blew strongly. The sky turned suddenly from day into night. It rained cats and dogs, many windows broke and many trees fell. People hurried home and stayed in. There were was so much water in the streets and that many people parked their cars on the bridges (3). 
    After the typhoon, the city was a mess (4)!

     

    (1) Titles can be difficult to make, but sometimes simpler is better. Here, maybe "A Typhoon," or, "The Typhoon" works well, but "A Typhoon Came" sounds a bit strange. In English, usually the verbs "to hit" or "to strike" are used for weather events; using "to come" is not incorrect, but sounds a bit like the English version of 颱風來了.

     

    (2) See #1 above.

     

    (3) The noun "water" is a non-countable noun (不可數名詞), so we use "was" instead of "were" Replacing "and" with "that" makes it clear that there is a cause and effect. In other words, the reason so many people parked their cars on the bridges was because there was so much water in the streets.

     

    (4) In English, "to be a mess" is a set usage, so we need to add the "a." 

     

    Telli, this is an excellent short narrative! Great job in using idomatic expressions, such as "raining cats and dogs," and "the city was a mess." As you can see, it only needed a few small corrections. Next time, maybe you can try combining some of the shorter sentences into longer ones. A variety of short and long sentences can really make your writing shine!

    學中國嘅方言真係好有意思 個禮拜,我已經上過幾次嘅粵語堂,真係好開心嘅。我通過學廣東話發現,中國嘅方言都有好多類似嘅地方,譬如話,廣東話同台灣話一樣,都有好多動詞係用一個字講嘅。喺啲口語嘅方言裏邊,指study抑或learn個詞都係一個「學」字,同國語嘅「學習」唔係一樣嘅。仲有,啲方言都保留咗古漢語嘅入聲,所以用廣東話或者台灣話將李白寫個詩詞讀出嚟嗰陣,聽到嘅可能就係同李白自己嘅發音一樣!所以因此,對我嚟講,學粵語畀我帶嚟好大嘅收獲。大家覺得點樣呢?

    用粵語寫個自我介紹吧! 哈嘍!大家好,我叫田福彬。我喺美國麻州嘅波士頓出生,差唔多21歲嘅時候去台灣學中文。除咗學習國語之外,我喺台灣嘅時候也學咗啲廣東話,但並冇機會練習。我目前喺美國係中國語言及文學嘅碩士生,因此為了對中文有更全面嘅了解,我就決定通過italki繼續學習粵語,提高我講話嘅流利度。除此之外,我也想多了解粵語特殊漢字嘅用法。以上嘅呢段短文,我已經嘗試把它寫得像粵語白話文,唔知道有冇人可以再幫我改吓?請儘量改嘍!唔該晒!
