My Chinese has deteriorated quite a bit over the years. Trying to ressucitate it. I speak a few other languages with varying degrees of fluency.
Yay, lucky number!

Where can I find recordings of people reading things now that mp3.baidu.com is dead? Oh, it's dead? Shame. |

What does the expression “孤男寡女” mean? Actually I think I know what happened. It's because of a movie title "孤男寡女", which was translated to Needing (You) in English. |

How are the terms for “male/female” and “man/woman” divided exactly? @拳拳恳 Not all, I was just think it's one of those questions which has an answer that's lost in time. |

How are the terms for “male/female” and “man/woman” divided exactly? Why isn't "son" 男儿? A Chinese speaker might as well ask: 'I know that daughter in Italian is "figlia", and son is "figlio". Why isn't woman "uoma" if man is "uomo"'? |

How are the terms for “male/female” and “man/woman” divided exactly? I am not sure what your question is. Are you just asking for a translation to those terms? |

When do the tones change? Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. |

Is any simplified character also a traditional character? Traditional and Simplified characters can't possibly be disjoint sets since there are many characters that overlap between the two. |

How to describe differences between Cantonese and Mandarin? @Krazer Yes, but someone who speaks Cantonese will understand standard written Chinese text, or at least 80-90% of it (and probably vice-versa). I understand less than 20% of an average French text. |

Do all schools in China teach in Standard Chinese (普通话)? Do you mean a class that teaches standard Chinese? |

Do all schools in China teach in Standard Chinese (普通话)? What do you mean by "but there is no such a course."? |

Is it easier to learn Chinese after learning Japanese or vice versa? I don't know if you've seen the movie, but I saw your profile and it immediately reminded me of this character (because of his ability to speak several languages, not political affiliation, of course). |

What is the part without the radical called? Oh great. You might want to add that to your answer :) |

How can one determine the radical for a given character? The radical for 能 is actually neither of those. It is 肉. See Wikitionary on Chinese radical/肉 |

What is the part without the radical called? "In your case,"艮"(gèn or gěn) is really a character." Yes, but that wasn't I was asking ;) |

How can one determine the radical for a given character? Hmmm, you'll need to be a bit more clear when with that last part, maybe by providing an example. I can't recall a situation when I had difficulty determining which part was the radical. |

“Actually” as a sentence-starter of speech filler Starting your sentences with "actually" can be an effective way to annoy people. |
