I'm jealous! :) Disney and Pixar make up a big portion of our collection and it's usually running in the background thanks to my kids. I probably know most of the films by heart! Ours have English, German and Turkish. I think they should come with more audio options so we can have them running in all our target languages!

Well if you know anyone who is taking a trip to China, then I would totally advise getting some! When you order them on Chinese Amazon they are incredibly cheap, the only problem is they won't ship out of China! I love them because the dubbing is so good, totally unlike non-animated films! Turkish would be interesting I imagine! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

All our films have a Turkish audio option but I'm not really learning it at the moment -- to bad! That's okay, I have a really long way to go before I can understand films in Mandarin. That gives me plenty of time to look around :)

1/2/2014 -
新年快乐!! Happy Chinese New Year to all! This week has been a fairly good week. I have learnt new vocab in both Mandarin and Khmer. I am continuing to go slowly through the grammar book, and today I learnt how to say 'within' when talking about a period of time - 以内. I am into chapter 6 of the grammar book, but there are 59 chapters so I am taking it nice and slow as and when I have the time. I am also putting all of the constructions into my anki deck in MCD form, even the most basic ones. I am also still watching 中国达人秀 to improve my listening, and I do feel some small progress is being made. I have only learnt 10 new characters so far this year as I am really not focusing on them right now (outside of my anki deck), listening is far more important to me at this stage. All in all I feel the first month has gone quite well, I am pleased with the steady progress I am making and hope to keep a similar pace throughout the year. Unfortunately I have been too busy to get anything done on the Khmer book I am working on yet, but there is still plenty of time left in the year, and it may well be a project I hit hard during my holiday. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

9/2/2014 - Well this week has been a terrible one for languages. All I have really managed to get done is my anki
decks. Hopefully next week won't be as busy and then I might have some more to say in my log! Tonight I hope to watch Dumbo in Chinese with my wife (if my son will sleep for long enough)! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

15/2/2014 - Again not a great week so not a huge amount to add. On top of anki. Watched Dumbo last week and
Wreck it Ralph this week. Could pick up bits and pieces, but didn't get most of it. Next week I will try and find a song to translate for the team challenge for Mandarin. Studied some new vocab this week for both Chinese and Khmer, and it has gone into my anki decks. I am also going to try and start adding sentences to my deck now, or maybe start a new deck using MCBs. For the simpler vocabulary such as nouns my deck is fine, but I find that I struggle with getting the context right for some words. I wish I had used sentences from the start, but there is no point in dwelling on that now! Hopefully my use of words in the correct context will improve from using this method. Other than that I just have to keep on listening to as much native material as possible I think. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

23/2/2014 - Completed the Feb team challenge for Mandarin. I found it quite difficult, but here is my attempt at
translating a Chinese song (no corrections added): 走 陪我走了那么久 &nb sp; Walk, walked with me that long 越来越像朋友 more and more like a friend 我为什么不放手 &nb sp; Why can't I let go? 想留没有更好的理由 &nb sp; Can't think of a better reason to stay 因为渴望自由 Because I want freedom 这次你决不回头 &nb sp; This time you can't turn around 你想走我想留 You want to go I want to stay 曾经的温柔 &nb sp; Once gentle 到最后谁也带不走 In the end nobody could lead you 我为了你为了你什么都放弃 For you for you I would give it all up 想忘了你忘了你彻底都忘记 Want to forget you completely forget you 流过血的伤口到底能疼多久 Blood flowing from the wound, in the end it hurts for so long 你我成了不见面的朋友 You and me have become friends that never meet 永远都你我的好老婆! You will always be my good wife This week was tough because my son hasn't been sleeping too well and so I haven't had much motivation to study. However, today I made some small flashcards for characters which I am going to carry around in my pocket. I have decided to leave writing for the time being and focus just on reading, as this will hopefully boost my reading ability much more quickly, and from that it will be easier for me to pick up new vocabulary. Right now I am going through the HSK lists for characters I don't know, and then I will be adding them into my Anki deck. Still haven't started my MCB deck, but i'm sure i'll get round to it at some point! My anki decks are all up to date for this week, and I watched some China's Got Talent. Hopefully soon I will also get a Chinese teacher for an hour a week or so. I heard yesterday through a friend about a lady who lived in China for 8 years, and she really wants to learn Khmer, so we might do language exchange and teach each other an hour each. While this won't be teaching from a native speaker, I still think it will be helpful for me to have someone on hand who can explain things in English, and it will also be someone to practice with. The only trouble is fitting it into my schedule! Watch this space! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
