like i've worked off and on in chinese high schools for after school seminars or whatever and the kids in tenth grade have absolutely perfect writing, you would be floored how good their writing is, but about 3/4ths of them i'd guess are not even somewhat capable of holding a conversation in English. because their classes are taught in chinese with the teachers having them say things like "to mail a letter" in unison over and over and over, so they learn the phrase "to mail a letter" but never have any actual experience making conversation or understand how to converse in english. which is like, i can't say for sure, but what i think to be the most important part of a language. if that dude has two beers and then goes and makes kids actually listen and interact in english, he is doing something that is incredibly important. people poo poo all over foreign english teachers, and sometimes rightfully so, but their job is actually pretty important in the educational scope of things, because everything in education in this dumb country is so compartmentalized no one ever actually teaches them how to actually have an english conversation\ it wouldn't be an important job if china understood how to run an education system, but it is the deaf, dumb and blind leading people who don't bother to question them, so you actually need this job right now. if they ever revamp the system, they can easily get rid of foreign teachers very quickly. out of the six/seven years i took spanish, i only had one foreign spanish teacher...the rest were all americans. and i'm fluent now (more or less, worked in mexico a bit, spent some time in spain, all of it with no problems at all interacting with people spoken, written, listening or reading) The Great Autismo! fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Oct 2, 2016 |

Dial-a-Dog posted:Ancient China ruled I saw an exhibit on the Terra Cotta army in Chicago and had no idea they used to be painted up in brilliant colors before the inexorable forces of time ruined them. Also I read the entirety of the three kingdoms translation and western civ has nothing on their hilariously brutal civil wars. They killed more people in the hundreds AD than we did until we invented mechanized warfare. I can easily understand why they would have such a hardon for ancestor worship and their own history They were brilliantly painted on finding but the people excavating them literally had no idea how to preserve them

The applications in question were all for Western medicine, not traditional Chinese medicine. I assume this is only because TCM doesn't go through any kind of vetting process anywhere.

etalian posted:The Oxidation is a gradual process Last I read it's not entirely oxidation. Within seconds, minutes, or hours of being exposed to air the pigment starts to flake and curl up into tiny pieces as it dries. That's partially why there's still a ton of stuff waiting to be excavated that no one is touching. No one is entirely sure how to preserve it, so just leave it there until they know more. It's probably one of the most forward thinking aspects of Chinese culture I've seen in this thread.

I have figured out why China insists on 5000 years of history. It's all because of the preachers who came to China and insisted the world was created 5000 years ago. Chinese can't lose face so.... 5000 YEARS CULTURE

I read that the Chinese calendar says the year is 4714. That's close to but not 5000 years. I think if you're going to go around proclaiming 5000 years of history your calendar should actually be at the year 5000 or more.

Seriously, that's basically how I interpreted my job back when I taught English there: Get in there and actually make people have conversations in English for the hour or two I had with them each week, because in every other class they were napping while a teacher reads a powerpoint presentation to them in Chinese. They had lots of vocab and writing and grammar under their belts, but like 80% of the class starts getting lost immediately after saying 'hello' in a normal conversation. I definitely didn't change anyones life over there, but my students were consistently able to have conversations after the year was done, unlike the ones who were singing songs in classes led by another foreign teacher, or the ones who didn't even have a foreign teacher for oral English and spent their time in class sleeping.

big time bisexual posted:http://www.whatsonningbo.com/news-17519-brain-damaged-henan-man-kept-in-cage-for-more-than-40-years-by-his-mother.html Horrible, but it's at least kind of an understandable way to deal with someone twice her size and definitely stronger than her. I remember some photos of mental institutions in China from the 90s but aside from horrific abuse cases they hardly described what conditions they had inside. I understand that at least in Vietnam, their methods of handling the mentally retarded or severely autistic are pretty much borderline what the United States was doing in the 1960s (see this excellent documentary about one such institution that drove the producer into a depression and compare it to what's happening in this one set in Vietnam). This makes me shudder how Chinese institutions are and especially what they did with the mentally retarded 50 years ago.

Hottest Female English Names by way of Wechat and Tantan - Shenzhen Edition: 1. Vivi (Winner by far. More Vivis than any other name.) 2. Angel/Angela/Angle (Very few people spell it correctly. Angle is most common) 3. Yuki (For a country that hates the Japanese, there are tons of Yukis) 4. CoCo (No idea why this is so popular, but this is hot right now) 5. Amy (Because it's easy and was in the first few names on the list they looked at) 6. Something with "baby" because of that plastic Kardashian wannabe Angelababy. Runner up: Shirley/Shirly I am curious to see what the male names are, but I am not wasting swipes just to check it out.
