Fun with Mandarin

[przed]

Had our Mandarin class tonight. It's our third round, and we've got a teacher who's no longer babying us. She's not speaking a whole lot of English, which means we have to understand her questions in Mandarin, and then answer her back in Mandarin. It's tough, but I feel like I'm getting a wee bit better each week.

In the subway on the way home, the Sweetie and I realized we now know enough Mandarin to sing at least the first line of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" in Mandarin:

Wo yaò ni yaò wo.

Heh.

(Line 3 is Wo ai ni ai wo. Still haven't learned "need" so we can't do the second line.)

Too much fun.

In other news, I'm heading off to Escapade tomorrow morning. Very early tomorrow morning. Looking forward to seeing anyone from the flist there.

Okay, I like the way you and the Sweetie think. *g* I"ll be looking forward to more translations. (Mind you, I don't know how "The Wheels on the Bus" (or whatever that song is called) will translate....)

Have fun at Escapade! I'm so envious! I'd love a report on the panels!

Have a fantastic trip!
