Panda-Sama:

Dots-Kun:

NØICE

Teach me some Chinese

Panda-Sama:

Dots,
I can't write.
I only know how to talk.

Seriously.

Dots-Kun:

Sad

Panda-Sama:

It's easier to talk chinese than to write it.

Ari-Chan:

Yes

Dots-Kun:

It is?
Is it?

Panda-Sama:

Every fucking word is it's own thing.
There is no rhyme or reason.

Dots-Kun:

Yeee

Panda-Sama:

Well, there is.
But there's 10k "letters"
and 5 make up each word
sometimes less
and then there's times where a word doesn't use a letter,

Dots-Kun:

A single character can make up for a word
OwO
How tho

Panda-Sama:

The more simple ones.

Dots-Kun:

How do speak it then?

Panda-Sama:

Just...
never learn an asian language's calligraphy

Dots-Kun:

XD
Chinese Calligraphy is beautiful
If I say so, myself

Panda-Sama:

If you want to speak it,
going to china, and living there for 5 months should do it.

Dots-Kun:

owO
Will it?
It will?

Panda-Sama:

yeah.

Dots-Kun:

Anyways
does the word Wu Ming mean 'No Name'

Panda-Sama:

I don't know.
I just know enough simplified chinese to hold a simple conversation.
You're talking traditional.

Dots-Kun:

And I thought I hitched a tutor for free~
Anyways
I met 3 Chinese people, counting Panda
And each of them had different reasons
To not teach me much of the Chinese

Panda-Sama:

I'm just shit okay?

Dots-Kun:

No
Not okay

Panda-Sama:

I'm shit compared to a normal chinese person.

Dots-Kun:

Panda-Sama:

50k to live long enough to immerse yourself.

Dots-Kun:

Dots-Kun:

Panda-Sama:

Dots-Kun:

Panda-Sama:

The currency exchange is 1:5 CAN:Yuan

Ari-chan:

Why are we talking about going to China?!

Panda-Sama:

Dot's wanted to learn Mandarin.
You're still gonna need someone chinese to translate while you're there.

Dots-Kun:

I'mma go to China, and then, hey panda, which province and city ya lived again

-5 minutes later of talking about world destruction and pandas-

Panda-Sama:

I WOULD LEARN ALL THE DIALECTS IN CHINA

Ari-chan:
