hi.i think vivian lam's idea is wonderful. but i can not join you all because i need to work on that day (whole day.) wish you all have fun.
by the way, i just registed today. i guess i should introduce a little bit about myself. i am an old and fat lady (not pretty at all). but i am interested in helping others and is a quite patient girl. i used to teach children (age0-6). so, if anyone of you want to learn cantonese, i sure can help with free of charge.
my msn is : niceaggie@hotmail.com
p.s.: to be honest, i am very shy, so only expect nice girl friends. oh! i guess no man would like to meet me because i am not pretty at all.

Hello Nice,

Just as your nickname here called Nice..Think you're really a nice and patient lady cos teaching little kids needs much much patience!!!

You are MOST welcome to join our language exchange gatherings (of course for other activities too) cos' you can speak good cantonese. With your teaching skills and patience, you must be able to teach the westerners cantonese well~ haha!

Please keep on checking the posts here and join us next time~~

I was sent this by a friend a while back. I got a laugh about it. So when trying to learn the tones gets me down, I remember how bad English is.

This is about the word "Up"


You lovers of the English language might enjoy this*
There is a two-letter word that perhaps
has more meanings than any other two-letter word,*and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list,
but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a
topic come UP?* Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election
and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the
silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP
excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word**UP in the
dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page.
and can add UP to about thirty definitions
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is
used.
It will take UP a lot of your time,
but if you don't give UP,
you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.*
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things* UP.*
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
*One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,
for now my time is UP, so............
Time to* shut UP.....!
Oh...one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at
night?
U P**
[If you want to understand this last 'joke' read the letters aloud as U** P*
