hey guys. part of a new business venture. one of our teams got to learn chinese. and guess who it is!

any idea where i can find chinese classes?

cheers

There are a lot of options. I presume you want to learn Mandarin. These days everybody seems to speak it but in the old days it was mostly Cantonese spoken here.

You can do 1 month (or more) intensive courses in China. They don't cost a lot but it's a commitment and you will learn.

Otherwise there are all sorts of options here. RMIT and the Unis will have courses. Whether or not they have night school arrangements (ie. not a full Degree) I'm not sure.

There are also (expensive) courses for business Chinese. I'm sure there are plenty of low priced classes around. (Maybe CAE and the Tafes)

Whatever way you go about it, it takes a fair bit of work. Speaking is the easy part. If you don't have to read and write, that's a lot better. Even reading isn't too bad but writing is pretty difficult.

There are even some CD pack, type things that are not a bad start but I would suggest lessons as well.

Most importantly, you will have to mix with Native speakers (there are plenty here) or you'll never get hold of it. I found Chinese people here, more than happy to help and correct you. Of course they get a good laugh out of it as well.

Good luck. It's a great language and in many ways easier (grammatically) than English. It's not toooo hard to get to a point where you will be understood and can understand others.

Try Krudd I hear he knows how to speak the chinese :down:

On a more serious note your probably best looking around your local area for a private tutor it will go much faster than just learning it in a class. Also lots of Chinese kiddie books will go a long way to helping you learn, you gotta know your chinese ABC before you can speak or read or really do anything.

i've studied chinese for 10 years, and i can't even read/write properly, and i can never have a proper conversation in mandarin.

its a pretty tough language, a few thousand different characters, and a few hundred common ones.. tsk, how i hated chinese.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
