From time to time you have to take it easy with language learning and just have some fun with random stuff. Here we go: (just click on the attachment picture)

This is weird because many older generation native Chinese-speakers in Malaysia often speak English with Chinese intonation and pronunciations.

They will try to say things like "I've got eight grandchildren" and it comes out as; "Ai got ek gen chiu ren". I'm serious!  :wink: :wacky:

I came here with hope to learn it in 5 minutes lol. I knew it isn't possible. But at least I learned about some words. It sounds really funny when I pronounce these words, haha :)

I don't believe you can learn any language in 5 minutes. Although the attachment you have provided us with is very helpful. I learned so new words and I saved it on my computer.

It is very impossible to learn Chinese in 5 minutes. I think the attachment contains what I called Pinyin, which is similar to the pronunciation alphabets of English. These Pinyins will only help you to pronounce the words, but you have to write them in either a Traditional or Simplified form. The Pinyin is the pronunciation form of Mandarin. Thank you for sharing!

Ok this is crazy but at the same time it is really funny. I however would not want my Chinese friends to see this. And i knew that you can not really learn Chinese in 5 mins. I was curious though.

This is useful but why is it funny? Lol. I read it over and it's very easy to understand. Unless it's not serious or real Chinese, I will keep this as a reference and learn from it. It won't help me make conversation but it will make other Chinese people think that I speak and understand it!

Awesome content! This is really handy and helpful for people who have never learned Chinese before and I am sure it is a great help for them!

Thanks!
