Yes,Simplified Chinese is uglyyy!

^ Ugh, tell me about it. I hate it when Ms. Lu makes me write in Simplified Chinese in Mandarin class. =_=

It's something about the UN passing a law on making Simplified Chinese official and abolishing Traditional Chinese.

That's horrible. I've learned traditional all my life, but was trained to read simplified towards the start of high school. I never really liked it, and my teachers prefered the traditional way anyway. By then, I was way too busy...so I quit Chinese school freshman year.

The UN, of all organizations? This I find hard to believe. I can understand if they just want to make Simplified Chinese official and keep Traditional Chinese also, but to BAN Traditional Chinese?! That's a violation of our basic rights as a human being!

this policy sucks.

WTH? I want a protest against this. Banning Traditional Chinese is completely ridiculous. You cannot just ban something like this.

Mmm..anyway. I have this four year old girl guest at my house right now. She's from Taiwan, and her Chinese is way better than mine. It makes me feel pathetic. -.-

Yeah, all my younger cousins from Taiwan make me feel bad too. They know more English than I know Taiwanese ): My four years of Spanish doesn't even make up for that.

I understand how u feel. My cousin that are hella younger than me can write Chinese better than me. I sometimes feel ashame about myself. LOL! Learning chinese , especially how to write, is really hard. All i am good is speaking chinese.

I'm pretty fluent in Mandarin as well. But then again, English is my second language (but only by a year...I was born in Califronia after all...)

Yeah. Same. Except my cousins are asses...and pretend I don't know mandarin for shit. (That's another story, though...) Uhg. I'm pretty damned fluent in Mandarin....it was my first language as well. I didn't learn English till I was in pre-K.

U learn English in pre-K? WOW, Lucky. I learn English like in Kindergarten but I dun speak that much when I was little so I started to speak English in 4th grade. Yup I'm pretty quiet when I was little but when i reached like 6th grade. I get all talkative and yea.

I'm very fluent in Cantonese, but my reading and writing leave MUCH to be desired.

I don't know, I don't feel too ashamed about it. I know I'm trying my hardest to learn, after all those years of Chinese school. I did come to North America when I was only 2, so I think it's a pretty good accomplishment. I must keep at it, though. =)

I learned English in preschool. Well, I was exposed to it in preschool. I learned most of it in Kindergarten.

Sally doesn't want me.




She needs me.

^Right.

Lulu Christina- Oooh. Well, I was born and raised in North America so it's not like I had a choice to speak it or not. My Chinese is slowly declining. =/ That's why I think it's beneficial for me to go to Taiwan during the summer so my Chinese can improve. Though, I must admit...my writing and reading could be a whole lot better. Uhg. So much better.

Gigi- Aw, you sound like you're motivated. I wish I was. Gah. I suck in Chinese school.

lol chinese is my foreign language at HS. my chinese school sucked ass, and i hate spanish, so i took chinese 1! japanese i tried and failed.

Man, I dont know any chinese....

lol u failure.

taking chinese at the HS is retarded. our class is half white people/foreigners (not trying to be racist) that cant speak mando for crud. so 80% is an A in our class and half the white people are failing.

but we did have an interesting presentation by my friends when they TRIED to introduce the class to asian music and lost the attention of the "bai ren" and all the fobs tried to suggest better artists

rofl SIKE BITCH.

Kevin is an asian failure.

Fob. Stfu.

^ hear hear

^ fob

^i learn from the best

Uhg. I want Chinese at my school :[ Or at least f**king Japanese.

Actually, in my state, they're starting to offer Chinese more and more in HS classrooms...except they have to be AP Chinese classes. -.-" jeez.

tha hell? why cant mine be AP? we have a devil of a teacher but its not AP!!

Haha. You're such a nerd.

if it was AP, id have a 4.0!!! but nooooooooooo we have a retarded foreign language department who is afraid of losing students to a new language and getting less pay that they tried to shut us down. but we survived and fought and won!

Well, our school only offers Spanish and French :T
I'm done with all language requirements though. Woohoooo

bah, after scandal, there are no good new cds...

Oooh. So I'm guessing that cd is good. I"ll think of getting it, then...

its... decent. its good if ur into sexy sounding hip hop

LOL sexy-sounding hiphop.

mmm yeah i think i'll get it. no new cds are out anywhoooo except for theirs

Where do you find good Chinese CD's in Cali...

Anyway, I'm out in 10 minutes...for the rest of the day. Don't destroy Chinese Club while I'm gone.

Mmm I listened to one of JJ Lin's songs today. JJ Lin - SaRangHaeYo Zhi Dui Ni Shuo :] It was sweet.

same, except I have 2 more years T.T

ahahaha graduating FRESHMAN!!!

hahaha.

My high school is something like....49% Asian.

The Mandarin classes are jam-packed with native speakers, and as a result, the Mandarin teachers usually don't teach us a thing because we all know it anyway.

As for the foreigners taking Mandarin, they're left to learn it by themselves. It's a sad system, I know. But at least I know Chinese enough to be getting 95%! =)

I don't really have to take any languages next year, but I'm continuing with Mandarin anyway in case I f**k up my other exams.

^COOL! 49% Asian. At my school, it's like....3% Asian. -______-" Georgia is completely different from California, NY, and Canada...there aren't that many Asians. Sigh. :[

My school offers 4 languages- German, Latin, French, and Spanish. :/ None of them are too appealing to me, so I just chose to take French...probably a bad move, eh? I wish we had Japanese. I would take that in a heartbeat.

haha thats exactly like my class!!

our school is like 1/3 asian.

My school is like 40% Filipino and 20% All other Asians. Lol.

lol our asians are taking over the school. i think its been something like 10 years since someone not chinese has gotten the "most accomplished student award" and we took almost all the academic achievement awards

lol the math team and the science team are 90% asian. and the badminton team is 85% asian. and our pingpong club is all asian. and the DDR club is mostly asian

we work hard to break asian stereotypes

Our badminton team is 95% asian, and our school is vietnamese dominated. ..or maybe it's the mexicans/filipinos.

Our school has a 33% graduate rate.

Logan sucks....you should come to MHS. But then again, we're not any better.

We don't suck. Just academically. Everything else is really good lol.

Yeah, your band and colorguard owns everyone else :/
Milpitas doesn't come out on top for anything.

I own your everything.
