It's really nice to have another Singaporean visitor to this blog!<br /><br />Many thanks for your kind comment on my Mandarin, but I'm afraid that my Chinese has gotten rusty over the past few years, as I haven't been working diligently to keep it up.<br /><br />Having said that, Mandarin still remains one of my favourite languages, as it's really beautiful and pleasing to the ear. I am also a big fan of Mandarin and Cantonese pop music.<br /><br />Currently I'm focusing on studying French. It's an extremely difficult language to learn, but I really love it! In fact, I am planning to upload a video in French on YouTube soon!<br /><br />I'd be delighted if you could check out my blog and videos from time to time.<br /><br />Take care, and wish you a nice weekend!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Uncle PolyglotUncle Polyglothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102865477554802603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383699086290907398.post-41357226629108550192009-11-06T21:34:06.620+08:002009-11-06T21:34:06.620+08:00Hi, another Singaporean who chanced upon your blog...Hi, another Singaporean who chanced upon your blog. <br /><br />Lived in Shanghai for 3 years and I must say that your spoken Mandarin is as good as the average Shanghainese who speak standard "Pu Tong Hua" without a thick Shanghainese accent.<br /><br />Attempted with Shanghainese / Italian / Korean using language books + CDs, but it never quite worked out … LOL!!! <br /><br />I speak a couple of languages & dialects with various level of fluency – English obviously, Mandarin, Thai, mixture of Malay/Indonesian, Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew. Picked them up along the way in environments that I was in, but would not have preserved in learning or studying them formally. <br /><br />Your enthusiasm in learning languages is impressive and trust that you will have lots of fun out if it. Good luck :)Chiennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383699086290907398.post-63144748747924546452009-10-01T08:48:18.612+08:002009-10-01T08:48:18.612+08:00Hi goodidae,

It feels really great that I finally have a Singaporean visitor on this blog!<br /><br />To answer your question, I am actually not a translator.<br /><br />I just happened to be fascinated with languages from very young age. Currently, I am mainly focusing my attention on learning French, and am planning to post a French video on YouTube in the near future.<br /><br />Thank you once again for visiting. Will keep trying to make this blog more interesting!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Uncle PolyglotUncle Polyglothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102865477554802603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383699086290907398.post-17187544419574621712009-09-28T00:40:31.582+08:002009-09-28T00:40:31.582+08:00Hi Uncle Polyglot,
