heyadam
07.26.12 | haha hood stuff man! nice to meet you. And thanks, two is definitely a killer album. I've been listening to 1 a lot because they are locals. |

07.26.12 | I've heard a couple songs from CityCop. I definitely dug their sound, I need to relisten to some of their stuff. Also 5 is a massive album. I've seen them live opening for 2 and opening for Thrice and both times they killed it. |
heyadam
07.26.12 | I'd love to see them live! I REALLY wanted to see them play with Manchester Orch. but I couldn't make that show :/ |

07.26.12 | Nice. I wanna learn Mandarin, but decided to learn some easier languages first. |
heyadam
07.26.12 | I probably should have done that, since I'm awful with picking up new languages, but I love the culture so I thought I'd give it a shot. |
blastOFFitsPARTYtime
07.26.12 | Good on ya. 'Tis definitely one of the best languages to know nowadays and for the future. |

07.26.12 | i dont understand the romance behind learning an asian language - its sucks, its oppressive, and its restrictive - fuck doing that for the sake of being exotic
all them gooks - the relevant ones - can speak english anyway |

07.26.12 | razy lacism |
Kiran
07.26.12 | how is learning an asian language restrictive? knowing even basic mandarin is an incredible asset on a resume considering every major company in the world is looking to expand their market share in the worlds largest growing economy. a friend of mine bagged an internship just two months ago with a firm in singapore because he'd studied the language throughout college. |
Kiran
07.26.12 | and ya, heyadam, the characters are the worst, i quit that class and just tried learning spoken mandarin. i sucked at that too. |
Voivod
07.26.12 | What Kiran said. |
heyadam
07.26.12 | I thought about only learning the spoken for right now haha. I'm self-learning too, so it's pretty difficult |
TheFonz123
07.26.12 | i've read that mandarin is the most difficult language to learn in the world so props. One of my goals is to eventually be fluent in six languages |
TheFonz123
07.26.12 | the problem is
a) the symbolism
b) speaking it is like 95% pronunciation and it all sounds very similar |

07.26.12 | There was an old man from China, who wasn't a very good climber. He slipped on a rock, cut off his cock and now his got a vagina. |
heyadam
07.26.12 | "speaking it is like 95% pronunciation and it all sounds very similar"
This is definitely one of the hardest parts. Your pitch is very, very important. The slightest difference in tone can cause a huge problem |
Kiran
07.26.12 | the 4 tones are very important but usually when you come across words that mean a lot of different things, the context of the sentence does most of the work |

Maniac!
