@Joldberg monotoning Chinese doesn't work. Like at all.

2018-04-16 23:24:09 UTC  

mainlanders cant even begin to understand if you fuck up the pitch. If you go to a restaurant, and you point at the menu and try to say "I want this" in mandarin, but you fuck up one of the words, their brains cant fill in the gaps and understand what you are trying to say

2018-04-16 23:24:21 UTC  

they just sit there confused and can't read between the lines or use context clues or anything

2018-04-16 23:24:23 UTC  

i swear

2018-04-16 23:55:03 UTC  

no cause it would like a deaf person talking

2018-04-16 23:55:30 UTC  

you gotta sit there and really think what they're saying

2018-04-17 00:58:30 UTC  

but cmon what possible things could i be saying\

2018-04-17 00:58:40 UTC  

im in your restauraunt pointing at the menu after calling you over

2018-04-17 00:58:50 UTC  

theres only a few things it could be

2018-04-17 00:59:00 UTC  

im not gonna point at the tofu and say "i like cigarettes"

2018-04-17 02:50:03 UTC  

Well what was tge point of becoming commies if you didn't fix your language while geniciding everyone and destroying culture

2018-04-17 03:01:52 UTC  

Mandarin has been around for less than 50 years I think

2018-04-17 03:02:20 UTC  

nah must be like 70 years now

2018-04-17 03:15:23 UTC  

Why would anyone decide to make thier language pitch based

2018-04-17 03:18:53 UTC  

its just another systen

2018-04-17 03:19:14 UTC  

its the same you know your abc

2018-04-17 03:19:35 UTC  

they just have sounds that are just those sounds

2018-04-17 03:20:03 UTC  

Except thier sounds are based on notes like they are birds

2018-04-17 03:20:38 UTC  

its like c s and z

2018-04-17 03:21:03 UTC  

potentially they can sound similar

2018-04-17 03:22:32 UTC  

I can get that but adding nasal, throat and chest sounds fucks with me. I can't even get my mouth to make some sounds that are apparently essential

2018-04-17 04:00:33 UTC  

Anyway,are there any recommended apps to learn the basics? Or should I just torrent Rosetta stone.

2018-04-17 04:32:33 UTC  

there was a small site I used for a while

2018-04-17 04:32:56 UTC  

called nuli.com or something

2018-04-17 04:33:07 UTC  

never kept to it

2018-04-17 06:06:12 UTC  

I can recommend https://www.chineasy.com

2018-04-17 10:35:30 UTC  

Are Chinese people attracted to any particular race?

2018-04-17 10:35:40 UTC  

Are they racist against any of them?

2018-04-17 10:35:45 UTC  

where are you from?

2018-04-17 10:35:53 UTC  

Does it matter?

2018-04-17 10:35:56 UTC  

yes it does

2018-04-17 10:35:57 UTC  

Just wondering

2018-04-17 10:36:03 UTC  

so I can make my point

2018-04-17 10:36:12 UTC  

White ppl?

2018-04-17 10:36:17 UTC  

No no, just the country

2018-04-17 10:36:29 UTC  

I'd rather not

2018-04-17 10:36:48 UTC  

well I wouldn't say there is more or less racism in China than in other parts of the world

2018-04-17 10:37:02 UTC  

Asians in general are just more open about it, less strict on political correctness

2018-04-17 10:37:32 UTC  

What about the dating culture? Are they as open as the western countries?

2018-04-17 10:37:36 UTC  

But I wouldn't say they think much different than people of other places of the world. You might encounter all kinds of different people

2018-04-17 10:38:04 UTC  

You obviously have a bonus being a foreigner in terms of dating culture, all around the world
