| Hey Zoey, Appreciate the trouble you've gone to here but remember that most of us foreigners cannot read Hanzi and since this is and oral lesson, we need to see it in Pinyin to be able to read it and remember it Thanks J I can only read some of this because I have been learning the characters and the content is out there to see. |

| I always enjoy these posts Zoey. I have Wenlin so that I can look up the Chinese characters, but many people do not have that tool. Still, I wouldn't enjoy your posts nearly as much if they were only in pinyin. I like trying to learn the characters. |

| Thanks, Zoey. Some of the longer sentences are not very easy. I guess I really need to study more... |

| Muddie, many foreign friends think that Chinese is really difficult to learn, especially Chinese characters. Thoese characters are really complicated. However, it is not difficult to speak Chinese. I saw many foreigners who can speak fluently but can't write very well. Just try to learn more and it is useful since you have lived in China. |
