暑假风大

•••you are welcome to send anything you want me to read out for you in Mandarin••• ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ I'm a native Mandarin and Cantonese speaker, but I grew up mostly in Canada so never learned to read much Chinese, as well my Mandarin is increasingly rusting from disuse. I'm trying to relearn it and teach myself to read. You may ask me any questions! Let's learn together!

If a blog that has barely any post contacts you (maybe even with an offer to teach you Chinese), and you have a suspicious feeling in your gut, follow that feeling and DONT REPLY. Block them, even, if it makes you feel safer.

“The word 柳 (liǔ) means ‘willow,’ and I just assumed 'chicken willow’ was intestines or some kind of boney meat […] It turns out 柳 (liǔ) is a word used specifically for food dishes. It is used for meat that is cut into pieces and usually fried. It is used for meat where you can clearly see a pattern of veins, and is made of muscle, such as chicken breast, pork and beef tenderloin.”

@paflakai Hi! I got it when I was 5 or 6. All of the Chinese children’s book I’ve ever seen have pinyin on top like that, really handy for kids.

"It means I have a silly friend. 二货 is an affectionate way to refer to a friend that may not be a genius but everyone loves him. 二: stupid. 货: buddy/man/stuff. 二货comes from the adj 二 and 货(goods, commodity, entity). 二 used to be interpreted as stupid or even intellectually under-developed (due to disease), especially in some regional dialects (so watch out and don't use this phrase in rural areas). But currently on the cyber space 二 is not considered offensive and tend to mean silly. So 二货朋友 means a silly friend."

Here’s a chapter from that book I mentioned here

[learninchinese]

Hello! Do you know any books with both the Chinese and English translation in it?

I do! Not a lot tho….just one. It’s a collection of short stories by American and British authors that has full Chinese translations on every other page. It’s an old book from my mom’s high school days, I doubt it’s still printing, so I’ll scan it and make a pdf.
