What kind of lesson will the next one be?

Will that be dates in the weeks?

Or in the months?

Or how to tell the year, like 1999 or 2000 or 2001... and so on?

'Cos you use both TC and SC, so I guess that you moved to U.S.A. after you graduated from elementary school, right?

Can you use the "Chinese Phonetic Alphabet", such as ㄅㄆㄇㄈ?

If you feel discomfortable, I have to say sorry, but I don't mean to insult.

[HyperLingual]

Actually, I can only read traditional, but I put the simplified characters up since it is a fact that mainland China is a great economic power now.

Thanks for teaching me this..

[lianglonglong]

@peonys well youre wrong. in chinese there is not any phonetic alphabets or normal alphabets. in chinese you have a word and a word mixed whit a word to form another word and so on. and these ㄅㄆㄇㄈ loke like something frome AVP or japanese

這帽子未免也扣得忒大！

真是何苦來哉？

竊以為過而改之，如此即好。
