hey guys. part of a new business venture. one of our teams got to learn chinese. and guess who it is!

any idea where i can find chinese classes?

cheers

There are a lot of options. I presume you want to learn Mandarin. These days everybody seems to speak it but in the old days it was mostly Cantonese spoken here.

You can do 1 month (or more) intensive courses in China. They don't cost a lot but it's a commitment and you will learn.

Otherwise there are all sorts of options here. RMIT and the Unis will have courses. Whether or not they have night school arrangements (ie. not a full Degree) I'm not sure.

There are also (expensive) courses for business Chinese. I'm sure there are plenty of low priced classes around. (Maybe CAE and the Tafes)

Whatever way you go about it, it takes a fair bit of work. Speaking is the easy part. If you don't have to read and write, that's a lot better. Even reading isn't too bad but writing is pretty difficult.

There are even some CD pack, type things that are not a bad start but I would suggest lessons as well.

Most importantly, you will have to mix with Native speakers (there are plenty here) or you'll never get hold of it. I found Chinese people here, more than happy to help and correct you. Of course they get a good laugh out of it as well.

Good luck. It's a great language and in many ways easier (grammatically) than English. It's not toooo hard to get to a point where you will be understood and can understand others.

Try Krudd I hear he knows how to speak the chinese :down:

On a more serious note your probably best looking around your local area for a private tutor it will go much faster than just learning it in a class. Also lots of Chinese kiddie books will go a long way to helping you learn, you gotta know your chinese ABC before you can speak or read or really do anything.

i've studied chinese for 10 years, and i can't even read/write properly, and i can never have a proper conversation in mandarin.

its a pretty tough language, a few thousand different characters, and a few hundred common ones.. tsk, how i hated chinese.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
