In addition I thought you might find it amusing to learn that Frau Kolb has decided to become ASIAN. Yes, it is true. I’m learning Chinese.
Yes, it is true, folks… FRAU KOLB has embarked on a NEW fine fucking art ART ADVENTURE!
Frau Kolb has decided to incorporate Chinese language learning skills into this already all-over-the-place AND way-too-persoal OFF TOPIC intimate ART CHAT web-site by your’s truly, Frau Kolb.
Now we begin with your first Chinese lessons.
Here are my seven favorites from You Tube:
1.) How to say “Thank you in Chinese.” 谢谢你
In any and every language, the most important word you can say is thank you. Get used to saying it more, to yourself, to everyone and you will feel better about LIFE, just practice in English to cure you of depression, abysmal loneliness, and/or morbid apathy. Get cracking.
Try IT: Thank YOU! Vielen Dank! ¡Muchas Gracia! Merci beaucoup! 감사합니다 спасибо

2.) A go-with-the-flow place to start is with a very Western tutor, perhaps. Learn to say, “Hello!” Introduce yourself… or not our tutor breezes by big ideas too fast for anyone to learn from her but she’s got a great rack, pretty blond hair, and spunk. In short; I’d like LOVE to have her tutor me or give me a massage. Both. Maybe.
(Tip do not copy her accent. Yet, get it you, too, can learn Chinese NO BIG DEAL.)
3.) Emma, speaks solid English and thus is easy to follow. This video is easy enough for anyone to understand and learn how to say “Hello,” and practice how to exchange simple greetings and review how to say "Thank you in Chinese.” 谢谢你and introduces how to say, “You are welcome,” and “good-bye.” (Yet, unfortunately, Emma repeatedly invites readers to look down here, meaning on the side bar for more lessons but it could lend itself to easy parody…)
4.) Here is a more traditional Chinese tutor for the immersed early learner:
I dig this one, because Becky, our host is super cute and serious Chinese introductions, and proper name exchanges.
5.) This is a great introduction to the Chinese language concept of tones:
by YangyanCheng, founder of www.yoyochinese.com
(This girl is SUPER CUTE! Get ready to fall in LOVE!)
6.) ShaoLan Hsueh: Chineasy author is a great beauty, intellect and her book Chineseasy is amazingly compelling, pretty book. I bought a copy and can imagine buying more copies. EXCELLENT WORK!
7.) Here is ShaoLan Hsueh, again. She is a already my Chinese MUSE, big time. I’d LOVE to have a second of her, precious time… geez, can anybody say: übermensch?
Join me, Frau Kolb, adult language learning in learning Chinese!
Together we can master the most widely spoken ancient pictographic language system in the world, Baby!
Love,
Frau Kolb
