[quote=“Funk500”][quote=“tash”]In the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge, I swiped the books from Erhu before Funk500 could come and get them. Now he’ll have to wait till I’m finished… Which, judging from the level my Chinese has gotten to since I’ve been here, won’t be any time soon. Sorry, Funkster
Can I offer you this one in return? [/quote]
Well, Wonder woman… Self improvement has ALWAYS been a passion of mine… so sure I’ll take it… but don’t you need to brush up on important Croatian vocabulary like: Ocelot, bannister and so on?[/quote]
Is that the new version of “Learn Croatian”? The one with “colour TV” and stuff?
AND, in the section “At The Restaurant” they took out the line “Excuse me, where’s the toilet? … How far ‘behind the house’? … Yes, I brought my own toilet paper.”

Damn! You lot are ahead of us! The last Irish dictionary I bought has only just added “transistor radio”.

And no thanks for not giving me the book.[/quote]
Don’t be sad, canucktyuktuk,
I spent all night reading the book and I can safely say I still don’t speak Chinese. It’s a lousy book. No wonder she wanted to get rid of it!
