I live in one of those places where very few people speak English. It is fun, but can be trying at times too.

Dude! You're from DENMARK. Blive jeres leder ud af imellem jeres bagdel.

I was talking about Linan, Jefe....mmm...translation: become your leader out of between your backside....yes...Since just seeing Danish on this forum makes my heart do a happy dance, I'll applaud and simply ask: shenme?

Would "Pull yer head out of your ass!" also work there?
I know you were talking about Lin'an, but you aren't from an English-speaking country in the first place, you know. Blive jeres etc. etc. etc.









Note to self: Find different English-Danish translation site.

OK, try this: Hiv din hoved af din bagdel!

If that don't do it, you can sut mine rådne løg. This was a helluva lot of work; no wonder the alcoholism and suicide rates are so high.

Hmmm...maybe we should start a "Danish 101" thread? Hive mit hoved ud af røven....right..good. Sutte mine rådne løg...excellent  men så kan du få en røv at trutte i, klaphat.

  indeed we are.

Back to introductions...

Well, you've gone beyond my translator's capabilities with that last one, Bæskubber...

Skidespræller! klaptorsk! Dumrian! Hundehoved! Hængerøv! Of course your poxy little translator cannot handle the numerous and subtle aspects of the most important lanuguage in the universe  

Professor Eric the Red's renowned Galactic Academy for Danish Students will soon be open for business. Tuition fee is one bottle of whisky or directions to a bar where the girls have really low standards.

or directions to a bar where the girls have really low standards.

And Danes are REALLY LOW on the Standards Register!!

No, no...just me...

Sorry. I was generalizationing again. Silly me!!

Hi everyone!

As the latest member of this cafe, I thought I should introduce myself!
I'm a teacher newbie planning on heading over to China next fall with my husband for the first time. We're hoping to teach somewhere in hangzhou (any recommendations are MORE than welcome) for 6 months to possibly a year.

I'm not a die hard like a lot of you, but I've been learning Mandarin for close to 2 years...well, attempting to anyway...and am really looking forward to getting to know the Chinese culture.

Now, if only I could find the perfect school I'd be all set!

Welcome aboard, Borkya. Please remember this is a SALOON, not a cafe!!!

Now, if only I could find the perfect school I'd be all set!

Wouldn't we all!!
No school is perfect..they all have problems...big ones, small ones...in-between ones.
Best to hope for is a school with little problems that you can handle. Like, say, you went to a school that employed Ericthered. I'm sure you could handle that small problem!

Welcome Borkya.

I'm not a die hard like a lot of you, but I've been learning Mandarin for close to 2 years...well, attempting to anyway...and am really looking forward to getting to know the Chinese culture.

Err... that is way ahead of what I did before coming to China. I learned "Ni Hao" on the airplane over

Well, I live in NH, so learning chinese from a real live chinese person required a 2 hour drive for a 2 hour class. (which sucked, especially in winter) I even did it for a whole year, but for the past year I have been doing "independant study" aka livemocha.com, and Pimsleur and yes, I even got "hooked on Chinese" (from the hooked on Phonics people--I got it at a discount store for cheap) which is for ages 4-8, but you know, I take the learning where I can get it.

Thanks for the welcomes! (By the way I love the smileys on this board!)

did we know that near All calico cats are female?

Welcome Borkya!
Fergit the Chinese...how's yer Danish? (I hope it's not very good; that Erc is one nasty MoFo...)
