Hi, I'm Chris. I'm basically what you call a banana (a chinese can't really speak mandarin). I'm working hard to change that though. I'm passionate about music, languages and reading.

    Italian Scholarships: I am a non-EU student. How does one apply for scholarships to Italy? What are the procedures like? When are the deadlines? I tried going to this website but I am still rather confused. Thanks in advance. http://www.andisu.it/Objects/Pagina.asp?ID=182&T=Residenze

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I am 20 years old, student in university of Paris.
    I want to integrate an ingeneering (engineering) school but they demand a high level in english, that's why I must learn and improve it in order to realise my objectif  (objective).

    * You'ved used the french spelling for both words I think. The correct spelling is written in brackets. Hope this helps :D

    I think it's never too late to learn. It just depends on which level you'd like to reach. Maybe if you want to play like the great virtuoso's like paganini or those popular ones like vanessa mae and joshua bell, it may be slightly difficult. If you just want to play a few tunes I think that's highly possible. :) I have a friend who is 24 years old, and is self-taught, kind of. He went for lessons for a few months , then he continued learning by himself and he can play pretty well. Maybe you have some hidden talent ! Do you have any previous experience with any musical instruments? I myself learnt the erhu 2 years ago. It's a sort of chinese violin with 2 strings. I'm 23 myself. I feel like learning a lot more instruments . Let's work hard together! http://www.violinist.com/discussion/response.cfm?ID=13895

    Mooncake/Mid-autumn Festival/fête de la mi-automne Today we celebrate the mid-autumn festival!We celebrate it by eating mooncakes, and having processions with lanterns and placing pomelo skins on each others heads. I really loved how the lanterns looked, especially how the light shone warmly on our faces as we carried them around under the moonlit road. Happy mid-autumn festival! Aujourd'hui c'est le fête de la mi-automne! C'est tres agréable. La lune est tres belle aujourd'hui. La lune, elle semblent une perle dans le ciel. Bonne fête de la Mi-automne!

    Belinda should be correct. if i'm not mistaken man on is actually cantonese and not mandarin. it's another dialect of chinese. 万安 is the chinese character for man on. In mandarin it is wan an. Cantonese pronunciation (Man on): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uMPBQOf7N0 you can hear how it's pronounced this link:) is it the same pronunciation? Mandarin pronunciation(wan an): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeZwJjs7LE4

    I find the internet it really helpful with its free podcasts. For french theres "learn french by podcast". I have been downloading a lot of of podcasts recently. You can find many movies as well online, sometimes I even watch them without subtitles. I do get a bit lost sometimes and the whole plot is changed but its fun :) there are news websites also, you can read that. Yea try to spend an hour or so a day doing anything in the language you want to learn. I find the best way is to force yourself to speak the language you want to learn with a group of friends.
