So I’ve had my cell phone for awhile, Shit’s pretty cool. It’s got snake on it, my high score is like 546, but I know can do better.
It’s also got chinese SMS’ing which means I can send short text messages in Chinese which leads to this weird phenomen in my Chinese learing, I can communicate better in Chinese over my cell phone than by talking. This is because when you SMS a certain delay is expected before you return a message, so I have time to check a dictionary.
This is all pretty boring, but I think it’s pretty funny when I convince some chinese girl over the phone that my chinese is pretty good, (by discussing the finer points of Meng Zi’s dialects say…) only to meet her face to face and have her be seriously disappointed
(”Ni duo da le?” (how old are you) and
“jintian hen re” (today is very hot)
being about the total extent of my spoken chinese ability.)
But it’s not so bad because at least I’m learning my charecters. it also always me to bug my chinese speaking friends as much as possible, by shoving my cell phone in front of their faces and asking them
“What’s the charecter for hamburger?
“Which one?”
“The Bao.”
“What bao?”
it’s two different baos?
“yeah”
“That’s retarded.”
