I'm learning Chinese as a hobby. I love the language and many aspects of Chinese culture. It is difficult, but also challenging! Since I'm in Croatia, there are very few books to learn from, and even less Chinese people to practise with. Internet is virtually all I have.

Due to all this (and lack of spare time to learn), I am an extreme beginner, even after messing about for over two years! :(

Feel free to contact me if you're bored to death and would like to chat with me on Skype once in a blue moon (and laugh at my 外国人普通话:)).

Please don't laugh at my stupid questions!

Dec 14	comment	Why do Chinese “extend” the last word when speaking? My friend was often in a Chinese restaurant in Budapest, he says the Chinese there spoke like that all the time amongst themselves. I have also seen/heard it in movies?

Dec 14	comment	How do I say “damn!” or “bloody hell” in Chinese? @Kabie: Hm, in that case I might stick with 糟糕! :)
Dec 14	comment	How do I say “damn!” or “bloody hell” in Chinese? If I understood correctly, even though my dictionary says "to fck (vulgar)*" for 靠, it's not actually a swear word but an exclamation?
Dec 14	comment	How do I say “damn!” or “bloody hell” in Chinese? I kind of like 哎呀, it seems quite universal, can be applied in any situation!
