Studying Chinese is a hobby for me. I am not a full time student. My interest in Chinese hasn't faltered for years but my progress is slow. I love the sound of 普通话 and sight of 汉字. I practice reading and writing a little everyday. I almost never have a chance to practice conversation. I hope spending more time on italki will change that.

    bad dream or a nightmare http://www.youtube.com/user/iamxiaoli has a Halloween themed lesson where she says, 我昨晚做了一个噩梦。 I find two ways to write nightmare in the dictionary. 噩梦,恶梦,词典告诉都一样。朋友说恶梦=bad dream,噩梦=nightmare. Is there a difference between 恶梦 and 噩梦 however subtle?

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hello everyone,my name is Doris.My hometown is Xuzhou, a famous ancient city in Jiangsu province.Now, I am pursuing my postgraduate study in Jilin University. I am very glad to meet you here. From my perspective,English is so significant to our daliy life and study that almost young people are crazy about it. That is why I choose English as my second language.

    Your English here is nearly perfect. The only problem is "almost". You must have meant "almost all" or just "most".

    Great job!

    All are "famous Chinese dishes" that maybe better described than translated directly. So here is what I would say: 卤煮火 is a Beijing soup dish cooked for a long time with meats like lung, intestines, and sometimes tofu. 天津麻花 is a fried dough snack from Tianjin usually braided. 狗不理包子 is a steamed bun from Tianjin usually stuffed with a juicy meat filling. So here is my try at simpler terms: 卤煮火 salty savory stew 天津麻花 Tianjin dough flower (or flour flower)哈哈 狗不理包子 buns the dog ignores, buns the dogs leave alone, buns the dogs don't care for... I read that in recent years it was transliterated to "go believe baozi"
