    第一条笔记 / First note

    note (笔记)  I personally take as in notebook (笔记本). There maybe other interpretations though : P

    大家好!
    我叫Louise Fors。你们可以叫我Lo。
    我今年二十四岁,又我有犬。(This one sounds coooool!

    But it's more like the latin version of Chinese, that's to say it's very very old saying  : )

    她今年十三岁, 叫Vicki。

    (We are not so strict about using connection words between different sentences, so feel free to skip some of the "and"s~)
    我从瑞典来。我是学生。

    我没一个老师的中文。但是我想。

    I don't have a Chinese teacher yet, but I would like to have one.

    我还没有一个中文老师         但是我希望有一个

    Another good news is, you can actually skip the second 我 in the above sentences. 

    We don't strictly follow the 'one set of subject-verb per sentence' rules either : )

    It is perfectly okay to say something like " I went to the gym took a run / 我去健身房跑了步" 

    without connecting words.

Xmas, Xmas, beaming Xmas, gloss over the white forests Kom, kom, signade jul! Sänk dina vita vingar Come, come, blessed Xmas! Lower your white wings över stridernas blod och larm Over blood and alarms of the battlefields över all suckan ur människobarm Over all sighs out of people’s chests över de släkten, som gå till ro, Over the families that go to rest över de ungas dagande bo! Over the young ages that you have today Kom, kom, signade jul! Sänk dina vita vingar! Come, come, blessed Xmas! Lower your white wings Musik: Gustaf Nordquist Text: Edvard Evans

    A beautiful Swedish song (nice for a cozy spring afternoon) [(English lyrics translated by me)] Kanske nästa år by: Sarah Dawn Finer Midnight is approaching, and someone is yelling cheers Nu är det midnatt och någon skriker skål What this life is for, is never understood Ska man leva det här livet kommer aldrig att förstå Everyone has a resolution but not everyone reached their goal Alla har en plan här inte alla går i mål I stare at fireworks and listen to the beats of clock Jag ser fyverkerier hör klockorna som slår yesterday I thought possibly things would become clearer, maybe next year Jag? igår kanske kommer det att klarna kanske nästa år I remember years ago a New Year's eve Jag minns en nyårsafton 94 eller så We sat down there on the bridge and you hugged me tight Vi satt där nere på bryggan och du kramade mig hårt The whole lake was frozen to ice and a full moon (reflected) on it Hela sjön var full av is och fullmånen så på When my teenage heros fade away how life should be like När mitt tonårshjärta smälter såg hur livet skulle bli But time flied Men tiden gick förbi maybe things are turning better, maybe next year Kanske kommer det bli bättre än så kanske nästa år I left my longings behind, which are that many as if I can get none of them done Jag har min längtan kvar det finns så mycket som jag inte gjort but if I just stop here, then I'm certainly left to darkness Men om jag bara stannar kvar så får jag säker svart maybe things are turning better, maybe next year Kanske kommer det bli bättre ändå kanske nästa år now it's past midnight and clock clicks five Nu är det efter midnatt och klockan slagit fem party is over and most people have gone home Festen här är över och nästan alla har gått hem You find my boots among a pile of winter shoes Du hittar mina stövlar i en hög av vinterskor I hold your hand again and morning is before us Jag tar din hand igen och vi möter morgonen my friend maybe things are turning better? Kanske kommer det bli bättre min vän You look at me and say, maybe next year Du ser på mig och säger kanske nästa år

    Yeah it is a hard question...

    But we do have songs about daily life. And, you still need a bit smartness to know

    how to use the words in a song! This is the most important part :  )

    Here is some examples:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9fiPMSYxS8&index=8&list=PLC32A560401583CDE

    and Mayday ones.....although they are still just normal chinese pop, but they include more daily life

    things on average.

    No Jay Chou.....she has accent and also his songs are meaningless fast for beginners.


    Also, why not try some family TV series with subtitles? 

    They seem more suitable for the purposes as you stated.

    There are some chinese singers translate and sing classical english songs too, why not check out them?

    Hope you can find your favorites~
