Trigg Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Welcome Fang Ling. It was good meeting you in Portland. Have a good time in Chicago. Ask any question you like about English but please don't learn from the many other posts. Perhaps you could make a forum for English Help/Chinese Help. Most of us here are far behind our SOs when it comes to learning each other's language. Trigg I doubt she can tarnish your sparkling image but we may gain sympathy for your wife. As far as the messy thing. That's what makes a man a man isn't it? Tony after all this time don't you know they communicate in a little known Tennessee dialect of Trigfanglish. Now that Fang Ling has asked for English help maybe Trigg will too. Zai Jian142438[/snapback]Ya know, you may finnaly have a good idea. A forum for the chinese wives to talk to other chinese wives and learn more english skills-especcialy writing. My wife doesn't do pin yin so she can't post in the Chinese forum. She wanted to talk/write to others in English because she says it is the only way she can learn to spell and write---not sure why she can't learn from me. And, in an all chinese forum using English--she wouldn't be in the G-pop and I'd be much safer DON--whatcha think--new forum for Chinese So's to learn more english??---mops be us?? Maybe a bi-linual moderator/teacher. Hmmmmm, kinda opens up many ideas in the area of on site ESl doesn't it??? Link to comment

Don't worry Trigg, "the truth will set you free."... 142436[/snapback]Roger, watch out, Ling will be meeting both Fang Ling and LuLi, and they have talked on the phone. Whe knows what will be said when they meet in person. For me, it could be a very long ride back home to Columbus, and for Trigg, even a very longer ride back to TN142441[/snapback]Gee Squeaky you don't think they would have any disparaging comments to make about their husbands' "dirty habits" do you?...

Dan R Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Trigg I don't know is happening but I like the sound of that. An interactive ESL forum. And until I saw "bi-linual" in your post I thought it was without any misspellings. Link to comment
tonado Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 [My wife doesn't do pin yin so she can't post in the Chinese forum. 142444[/snapback]People don't post pin yin in the Chinese forum. They post simplied Chinese. Pinyin is the romanization of the Chinese "write sound." Romanization approximates Mandarin pronunciation with Western spellings and includes a tone mark to signify at what pitch to say a word. This provides a phonetic alphabet for Chinese, which otherwise would not have one. Link to comment

I think this is what Trigg was referring to. On the ESL question, I like the idea a lot, but I would want to make sure that we Americans don't get too heavy handed in critiquing the posts.

Dan R Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 ÄãºÃTony the programs I use to type Chinese use the windows soft keyboard. The one I use is MSPinYin98 but there are others that might not require more than the first letter to get the ÖÐ×Ó character list. Can you explain what the different input keyboards are for Chinese (simplified)£¿ My language choices are MSPinYin, NeiMa, QuanPin, ShuangPin, U.S. Keyboard and ZhengMa. Also before I could get a list of characters for the Pin Yin I type but now I only get one. How can I reset to get the list to select from? Is there a setup preferred for our SOs to use? I appreciate any help you can give on this topic. Perhaps Fang Ling would find a different input easier to use. Trigg which do you currently have operating on her computer? ÔÙ¼û Link to comment
