im drunk but i hope this helps.

there are thousands of chinese-koreans in korea.

just go to babelfish (world.altavista.com/tr) and type in Korea and have it translated to chinese.

then copy and paste it into a search in yahoo or msn profiles.

then start e-mailing them.

I met so many people that way....

Yeah, I'd like to keep up my Chinese as well.

I'm in Busan, and there don't seem to be ANY Chinese books or newspapers for sale in this entire freakin' city! Talk about an insular country....

Try a pute program called "Crazy Chinese", gives you the basics and you can go from there. At my hogwon we also have Chinese lessons for the kids, so I have picked up a few words/phrases from the teacher. She wants to exchange Chinese for English, but I'm going home soon so will put that off till a later date.




Still crazy, still here.

I learn Chinese is a hagwon, just like the Koreans do. Go to a hagwon, look to see what book they are using. Many books have the new vocabulary in English as well as Korean, and all the low level books include Pinyin (english phonetic system for CHinese).

start at a low level and most of it is listen and repeat.

small class.

maybe your teacher will speak some English.

buy a good dictionary and prepare for each class.

i speak Korean well, and find class is a way to pick up advanced Korean vocabulary, as well as Chinese. I have been studying in a hagwon for most of a year, and can communicate ANYTHING i need to communicate (I just got back from Beijing)(I went there alone and was exclusively with chinese speakers, one of whom i had to have intense heart to heart conversation with).
