Profile
I am a Chinese national from Chengdu, home of pandas. Trained with a science/engineering background, I had lived in Singapore for 14 years and can handle English on a proficient level in academic field (writing scientific papers and giving presentation on academic findings). Foodie, movie fan, traveler, and entrepreneur… among these diverse nonetheless valid labels, I would like to add one more: culture explorer. I'm seriously seeking language partners, for opportunities to speaking. I believe that conversations through video calls, or even dramatic performing in front of cameras, would be the best ways to learn and practice new languages. Time is the only fair and limited resource in human life and any reasonable person shall try utilizing it to its maximum effect. Comparing with directly chatting and discussion, writing and typing is simply too time-consuming. If you share my view towards language learning, have some basic understanding of English, and you would like to learn Chinese, just let me know. Currently, i'm learning Japanese and Italian. No priority is given, and I welcome the speakers for both. My girlfriend is very supportive of my language pursuing, and clearly here I'm pursuing languages, not ladies. Therefore, *SERIOUS LANGUAGE PARTNERS ONLY

    建立: build up. The emphasis lies with the action, which was implied to have been taken by inferior power or from scratch. You can 建立 a nation because nation is something naturally formed from the root. 成立: form up. The emphasis lies with the form. You can 成立 a company because before you 成立 it, it simply did not exist. 设立: establish/set up. The emphasis lies with action, which was implied to have been taken by a superior power. You cannot 设立 a company, but only a subsidiary company（分公司） when you have a mother company already.

    Normally, the emphasis lies with the beer. You can only "drink" beer (You can't eat it, right?). Unless you deliberately put very heavy tone on "喝", then it shall sound like that you are emphasizing "to drink", which in another way implies that there must be another way to consume the beer (by pouring it into sink, perhaps?)...

    “如何” is a classical Chinese expression, literally it means "as...what". "怎么" is a new expression after "New Culture Movement", literally it means "how (to be/do)". Most of the time, these two words can be exchangeable. They are both correct.

    我觉得是放弃学习中文的时候了。两天前，在不同的一个网站， 一个中国人对我说，虽然我中文写得不错，但是我所有的句子都是病句，而且我的中文很容易产生歧义。如果是这样的话，我肯定的认为我应该放弃学习。我知道我的中文说得不太流利，水平不及中国人，可是我已经学了七年的中文了，在大学学了二年的汉语，如果我的中文有他说的那样糟，显然我是在浪费时间。我能接受有的时候我的句话有语病，我不是中国人，我没去过中国，但是很难相信我的中文让人困惑不解。

    我的一个中国学生说他仅仅是个酸民，但是他的评论让我对自己的中文能力没有信心。平时大部分人说我的中文说得不错，很容易明白我的意思，但也许他们这样说只是因为不想伤害我的感情。我不想要别人向我撒谎，正如我说得那样，我知道我的中文还不够完美，可是他的批评这么刻薄，我不知道该想些什么。

    Almost no grammatical errors. Period.

    If YOUR Chinese is considered lousy from someone whose first language is not Chinese, then this comment is either from 鲁迅, who is already dead for 80 years, or from someone not important at all.

    My English is lousier than Tolkin and Hemingway. I can live with that and I sleep well.

    I am totally amazed that you can achieve your current level (at least in writing) without a Chinese environment.

    And one advice not about language-learning: life is too short to be spent on trolls on internet, no matter where they come from, what languages they speak or what colors their skins are - trolls are trolls. They feed on hatred and grow on grudges. Pay no attention to them, let them wither, or they win.

    Only one grammar mistake.

    猫和狗，你喜欢那个?

    我最喜欢狗。狗比猫更爱人。人可以带着狗一起去散步和跑步。有大狗，也有小狗。我喜欢大狗，因为它能保护人（保护 is normally a transitive verb and you must have an object after behind it. 保护 someone/something）。我也喜欢猫，因为它很可爱。丈夫和她的爸爸不爱狗，所以我们家没有狗。我的小女儿有一只黑猫，它16岁。我们都非常喜爱这只猫。

    Let's say, a chairman need to ask politely and make a courtesy call to appoint the CEO.<o:p></o:p>

    Well, after Han dynasty, this procedure is no more as the emperor became absolute.<o:p></o:p>

    Well, Tranditional Chinese is not that easy to study. It is beautiful and indeed, tranditional.

    I myself prefer type in Tranditional Chinese since the Pinyin is the same. But according to the readers of my blog, they feel Tranditional Chinese a little bit harder to read. The difference is very slight, but it matters a lot in this fast-pace world.
