I'm really hoping to get either a teacher or a class in this spring before I go back to China next summer. Here's a great phrase we picked up though. (remember, I have no idea how to write this so it's just phonetic as I can get it) chung kuo sai yo hou shr yo hou kun "Chinese food is both delicious and beautiful" My favorite japanese phrases (almost all I can remember from 4 college semesters of it): watashi no nihongo o zuto dame desu "My japanese is incredibly bad" watashi wa sakana desu "I am a fish" extra points for people that understand why I would have remembered that phrase and how important it was to me on my japanese tests. Wow was I terrible at that language. In fact, I'm pretty sure that sentence is wrong. The few phrases of mandarin I know I don’t know how to write, since I learned them from CD.
