Since we are talking about practical advice, I strongly recommend calligraphy lessons which allow one to connect to the beauty of the traditional characters as opposed to simply their simplified versions, which will presumably help with ret

Not "could potentially" but "will definitely." There is a one word description that suffices to describe the problem: corruption.

I'm not sure that "market knowledge and passion for finance than" translates into big bucks and prestige, which seems to be what most people going to Wall St. are seeking.

Muscle memory was entirely neglected and is, in many aspects, the most important "memory" for writing Chinese characters, esp. under time pressure. The way that characters can be reconstructed that are "forgotten" by your Chinese speaker is

Actually, I feel just the same way about HN. You have to spend a lot of time on HN to follow the development of conversations and have to get in early to accumulate karma. I'm happy with HN as a somewhat glorified newsfeed with interesting

An abundance of fussy arbitrary distinctions do not constitute grammar by my definition. I'll have to think for awhile if I want to come up with a formal definition for formal grammar. If you still care, email me in a couple of days.

Le isn't even pronounced in the same way in different regions, but does that mean that there are a wide range of acceptable pronunciations or that there is a large range of variation with respect to a standard pronunciation? Likewise with g

Is not the "grammar" you refer the largely loose particles because of the lack of formal grammar, rather than the reverse? If so, I standby my original statement that the grammar (meaning formal grammar) is trivial. Why not give an example

I'm also a Chinese major who later worked as a Chinese-English interpreter and translator. Compared to German (which I know) / Japanese (which I've studied) / aforementioned exotic languages Chinese grammar is trivial. There may be many inc

Anyone have a date / time on the removal?

The important thing isn't a zillion people doing their own thing in their own place, it is being coordinated about standing up our rights. This is a great opportunity.

I interpreted exposure to mean exposure of himself rather than exposure to other things, but grant that your reading makes more sense. Even so, number 1 and 2 are closely related and none of the above ties in directly to money making. Not t

It didn't seem like you had much of a strategy to me either. When you talked about intended results you said: "I get connections, notoriety, experience, exposure" (three of which are essentially the same thing). Which implies that whether
