Thank you Ember

I have actually visited this website before but just decided to sign up as a member :)

OOOOooo. Thank you for the fresh wine, but aren't wines better with age? I'll keep my bottle for a few years then.

If you link me, or email me, I'd be more than happy to check out your lines.

The pronounciation in the shows are actually pretty bad. I watch with closed caption turned on so I can "read" whatever they are supposed to say. But I loved the concept of that in the future everyone speaks Chinese.

Hi, thank you for the welcome. Here is a little tip for composing a Chinese sentence. The logic of putting different parts together is to start big and work towards the small.

In English, I would say that I'm from Winchester, Virginia, USA, Planet Earth.

In Chinese, I would have to say that I'm from Planet Earth, USA, Virginia, Winchester City.

Your sentence would be best arranged as follow:
[welcome to][on this earth][the best firefly website]

Hope that helped :)

Is that better? It feels weird.

Yes, that's much better. Do you use Big5 or GB? Just add "come to" after "welcome" and it'd be a great sentence.

I use neither, it’s homemade. It was created specifically for Latin, as a tool for my novel.

I wanted to learn Japanese, and when experimenting with various Hiragana and Katakana one cannot ignore Kanji. This led me to want to learn Chinese. I was surprised how difficult it was for me, and frankly I have been sticking to Japanese, which is easy.

I use the tool, mainly to communicate with people who do not speak English online.

I took Japanese classes as well. With my Chinese and English backgrounds, I too found it quite simple.
