Re:Re:Just Contact Me
bonjour! Laurence. comment allez-vous? je suis heureuse,parce que tu etudies le Chinois.j'ai 26 ans, et je suis Chinoise.i speak Cantonese and Mandarin. i am currently learning French.but still a very beginner. i am ready for teaching you Chinese, hopefully, you can teach me French.
there are many kinds of dialects in China. so i think "taiwanese" here maybe refers to Min dialect. the pronuciation is different from Mandarin pronuciation.so for foreigners, it is much much better to learn pure Mandarin, but not dialects.
best wishes
wendy

Re:Re:Re:Just Contact Me
Wendy:
I can't agree your action very much.
"Taiwanese"is not a dialect! Instead,"Taiwanese" is the traditional
Chinese words.Besides,"Mandarin Chinese" is the Simplified Chinese words.In other words,"Mandarin Chinese"is "SIMPLIFIED".(In the ancient times,Chinese words are like those now in Taiwan)
Thus,I think that many foreigners want to learn Mandarin Chinese because it is simplified and easier.
In sum,Taiwan is a country next to China.(maybe you should have an map.)Furthermore,Taiwanese is not a dialect!It's PURE >just like what you said.

Re:Re:Re:Re:Just Contact Me
hello!Ter Ching Chiu. thanks for your opinion. but i think you might get me wrong. so i have to clarify something here.
firstly, i have to say sorry that i mixed up Taiwanese and Min dialect.(ÒòΪ̨ÍåÓиö·½ÑÔ½ÐÃöÄÏÓï,ÎÒÖªµÀÃöÄÏÓïµÄ·¢ÒôÊǸúÆÕͨ»°ÊǺܲ»Í¬µÄ), i thought that Min dialect refered to Taiwanese. i made this mistake. but what i said to Laurence is just dialect, just the pronuciation. there are many dialects in China.take an simple example, Cantonese and Mandarin.
secondly, you are right. Mandarin Chinese is simplified and easier. that is why many foreigners prefer learning Mandarin Chinese, but not other dialects. that is why i said to Laurence it is much much better to learn pure Mandarin, but not dialects.
thirdly, i have to, as a Chinese , i have to correct one of your words. "Taiwan is a country next to China"??? please, Taiwan belongs to China. Taiwan is part of China. i do think you studied so much Chinese history. and you should 100% understand this iron-like truth.thank you for your understanding in advance.
take care
Wendy

Re:Re:Re:Re:Just Contact Me
Actually, people outside Taiwan when referring to Taiwanese, is actually referring to Tai Wan Ua, which is similar with the Minnan Language or Hokkien. I speak Indonesian Hokkien and it sounds so similar with Minnan and Taiwan Dialect.
I think its best to say Taiwan Dialect than Taiwanese. And yeah Taiwan uses the unsimplified chinese characters but that isnt a spoken language -_-

Re:Re:Re:Re:Re:Just Contact Me
Hey,Wendy:Thanks for your reply first!I n fact,people now living in Taiwan speak approximately 4 language.(three ones are related to chineses;the other one is Aborigines'language)However,the language I discussed with you before means the same one spoken by you and me.I think that the biggest differences are our pronunciation and the words we use.(simplified or traditional)As for the language you thought before is Ming Nang.(Steven says correctly:Tai Wan Ua)Ming Nang is a dialect spoken by plenty of Taiwanese,inclusive of me.Thus,I can say traditional chinese and Ming Nang just like the condition that you can say Cantonese and Mandarin.>>>(Steven:Can you understand?:))
...................................................................
As for the relationship between Taiwan and China,I am very confused that I don't want to discuss here.Maybe you have your own opinion(Right!Taiwanese'ancestry all but comes from China),but I deny that"Taiwan belongs to China."After all,now our cultures differ a lot.Thus,as long as we all lead safe lives,the dispute is unnecessary.
(ps>Wendy:Can't I post my Msn?)
Good luck
Ter ching
