h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You can have a look at this Chinese phrase book I'm compiling:

Can you add anything?

You phrase book is quite good, but why do you learn Chinese in phoneticism? Chinese characters are , I think, more easy to follow..


Furthermore, WG, thanks for introduce us of a transcript of an ABC talking..
It is quite interested to illustrate how those guys torture the history of Tibet. I don;t know In English, what does "Chinese" really mean ? It just means Han Chinese? I'm afraid I can not accept it. But in this talking they obviously deliberately confuse the concept of "Chinese".
Chinese is a concept comprises of 56 ethical nations. Han is just one of them, the one with most populations. In history of past 5000 years, regimes on this land ( China) were not only from Han.

I'm not a historian, but even I can smell the hostility from the two guests. They can not deny the UK forces and CIA are behind Tibetan who want to be separated from China.

I didn't think it was possible to type in Chinese characters on these H2G2 threads.

wo er ge xingqi bu zai jia. (I'm going on holiday!)

So you won't see me here for a couple of weeks.

<< I don;t know In English, what does "Chinese" really mean ? It just means Han Chinese? I'm afraid I can not accept it. But in this talking they obviously deliberately confuse the concept of "Chinese".>>

I think many people in Britain are vague about this.
Many foreigners lump all British people together as 'English', or think that Scotland and Wales are part of England (I've come across this sort of confusion a few times when I've been living abroad).
Many British people are probably a bit confused about the Chinese situation.

Enjoy your holiday.
