Chinese Language Help

topic posted Mon, January 21, 2008 - 8:42 AM by  Joseph
Greetings all.
In preparation for the future, I would like to study Mandarin in a group.
Any ideas, or are there a few here that would like to meet once, twice, three times a week?
I have many resources, but there is no substitute for personal interaction.
Thanks for your time. Peace, be well.

    My caution to you is to remember that language is fluid, it changes over time. A millieum or
    two ago a Chinese word could have a dozen meanings and a reading (coin casting)
    could be meaning to tell you shades of each of the meanings of a word, then take that your
    sentence is composed of many words....you could infer multiple meanings the
    Universe could be wanting you to see.

    Do not let yourself build blinders but open to the rainbows of meaning and purpose in
    the language that you learn.
