haha the person before me is right

xD Sorry like the other reviewer said, you do have an accent when you speak cantonese. But I think I do too, seeing as I was born in America and I'm so used to english that I can speak it fluently better than cantonese. But not too bad =]

I was coming

++++ Love the aim of teaching folk.

--- Simply translating phrases ain't the way to do it.

Check a formatted language tape, like Pimsleur's series. (Check torrentspy if you want.) In there, stuff is explained, we're encouraged to repeat (which we can do here of course) but then... we're later prompted to recall words or phrases. We're prompted o work out new combinations. Actually forcing us to remember facts is the only way to help us ensure we do.

--- There are only 5 things here I'd want to know.

++ Cool kanji at the start.

-- ugly in-game gfx.

I was coming to learn, but left disappointed.

It's certainly possible to make learning more fun with a game, but it requires more thought than this if we're gonna learn anything much.

Still, having the sounds on a soundboard has potential...

Thx again for reviewing my educational films XD congrats on fire storm collab by the way

pook Guy

pook guy can mean "Shit!", but it literaly means " Drop dead", pook Guy (street, road etc).

Hay yao Tse Nay (when directed at someone) "Means God damn you, or you bastard"

Dieu would be a more closer to "Dammit".

but then I'm a banana so you are probally more right than I am.

uu...

you have a really huge accent when you speak cantonese,
like you have a lisp or something~ o.o
i can speak both cantonese & korean fluently and most of the pronouciations are off >.< sorry, don't mean to sound harsh.

nice try though <3

ShrimpFryRlCE responds:

i admit, u caught me =P i have bad chinese for some reason =/ nowadayz i dont speak alot of chinese at school

i don't trust this...

i could try to say something to a hinese chick but for all i know i could be saying "i have aids" in chinese.

try again bub....
