MacKensie speaks Chinese very well and the pronunciation is quite good. Let’s practice more to reach next level.

MacKensie is enthusiastic about French and showed a lot more talent in speaking than I had anticipated!

    There is a software program you can get online for Mongolian called Before You Know It. It is similar to rosetta stone and starts at the total beginner level. It's good for memorizing vocabulary and listening practice and it's not overly expensive.  Colloquial Mongolian, published by Routledge, had good explanations in English of the grammar and an accompanying CD. There is a book called Modern Mongolian: A Course Book which is way more dense and detailed but perhaps pricier and harder to get. It is good for reading/writing and getting really in-depth with the grammar. You could perhaps start with the other two first.

     

    Thanks, -MacKensie

    Three times. Chinese cities are so lively and people are friendly and interesting to talk to.  I love visiting temples and historic sites there. I hope you get to go there soon!  Which city do you want to see first?

    dinglehopper is a nonsense word, like thingamajig and whatsit. It's a made up word to indicate that you don't know what the 'thing' is called! 'thing" might be the best translation

    Some general phrases you can use: "I'm sorry to hear that." "How awful!" "Are you okay?" "Is there anything I can do to help out?" (only if you really want to help!)

    Hi, I am a native English speaker from the US. In your sentences they have the same meaning. 'Perish' is a more formal word, so usually in conversation you would say 'die.' 'Perish' usually implies the death was violent or tragic in some way. You don't 'perish' of old age, you die of old age, but you could say someone perished in an earthquake. I hope that helps!
