Casually learning Cantonese: looking for chat buddies.
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 10:27 pm
Hello.
I am a Dutch guy who's casually learning Cantonese, mostly for his personal enjoyment. I'm using a bunch of audio courses which are really quite good and comprehensive, but without real human interaction the progress can, of course, only go so fast. Therefore I'm hoping that there are some speakers of Cantonese with AIM who are willing to humour my incessant, endless requests for translations, and endure my pathetic attempts at using the language. You don't even have to be a native speaker or sane or anything, you can be a convicted child rapist for all I care. (I mean, for all you know, I could be one too and considering my nationality I probably am.)
So, if you've got a decent grasp of Cantonese, some time to waste, a sense of humour and no irrational fear (yet a healthy apprehension) of child rapists, my AIM screen name is 'Woutersex' (I'm sorry but someone else registered that name for me and I've had it for so long that I really can't be bothered to get a better one)
Hope to hear from some of you soon, and happy holidays to those who it may apply to.
