  • learning chinese

    hey doc I tried emailing you with some questions, but to no avail so I'll try the forum. I'm debating on wether to go to the beijing language and culture university or just going straight to a shaolin school. my main concern is that I don't know any chinese. so I was wondering do they teach chinese at any of the shaolin schools that you recommended in henan?

    If you email me, and do not identify something in the subject line, my spam program will bounce it. Try me again.

    You can sometimes arrange for Chinese lessons in some of these schools; my experience has been limited with respect to this. Also, some schools now have English translators. Their expertise is limited from what I've seen.

    You don't need to know Chinese to learn gong fu. I've been going since 1995, and only until this year have I been able to really understand a very limited amount of Mandarin. Not being able to talk to these guys makes it all that much more fun.

      yeah well I'm not just interested in the gong fu I'd like to study buddhism while I'm at it and that would be kind of tough not knowing any chinese.

            I knew the glasses would catch on. once they go away everyone wants them back. I think they need to make a collector's edition of terminator 3 where arnold wears the glasses throughout the movie. it would be the greatest dvd to grace this planet.

                !!!!Shocking!!!!

                I think that the fastest way to learn chinese, is to get to Shaolin. Find a school where nobody speaks English and there are no other foreigners. In 8 weeks you will be able to hold a conversation in Chinese. I have seen this happen a number of times, with people who have no aptitude for languages whatsoever.

                Then go learn the characters in a class room.

                This is what they do to Christians in Henan Province:

                Studying Buddhism in Shaolin? For all their awesome gongfu, I doubt there's anyone brave enough to teach it, for fear of the same happening to their families.

                If anyone can enlighten me otherwise, I'd be delighted to hear about it.

                  Start a new thread in the appropriate forum if you want to discuss Falon Gong.
