Not anything complicated. But I can actually have an MSN conversation in characters. Watch:

"你好我是加拿大人!"

It's cool :)

1. translation?


:hi: I would love to learn Chinese. (Mandarin, I suspect would be taught around here.) I should sign up for a class.

2. you can for certain
That just says, "Hello I am a Canadian"

I know Chinese folk who have taught mandarin in the US in smaller cities in Ohio and stuff, so there certainly must be one near you.

12. Are the characters for Canadian a person and a maple leaf?
;)
Would you be so kind as to copy and paste the Chinese characters that translate to each word in "Hello, I am a Canadian" ?

So glad the Post Message button gets more difficult to target as the evening turns to morning :D

Hope things are well. I'm foolishly sipping coffee with chocolate chip/butterscotch cookies. I do have hella shows to watch though :)
