Languages - September 2006

I am taking an elementary Mandarin Chinese Class, and my instructor gave us Chinese names. They all supposedly have meanings, but I would like to know the meaning of mine. In pinyin, my name is Wu, Aimei. Wu is second tone, Ai is fourth tone, and mei is second. I also have the simplified chinese characters for it, but I don't know how to display them here. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Not just phrases but grammar and vocabulary, perhaps even their alphabet (hiragana & katakana). Thank you!

We are moving to England. She is 5 and quite advanced. (or so i think, no bias here!) She reads, writes, and speaks more clearly and with more structured sentences/'grown up' words than most kindergardeners, and her teacher, piano teacher etc. all comment on it. We are from the midwest, so we have no pronounced drawl, etc., to overcome. A few years ago, I lived in Louisiana, and after being there for a while, I found myself s-l-o-w-i-n-g down my speech patterns, because it was so easy to do. My British husband only lived in the US for a bit, so of course his British accent is very pronounced. Therefore, I am thinking that because I am the only one around her that will be american, she will gradually lose her current accent. On one hand, this would be great, as she wouldn't sound like an 'outsider' but...I never want her to lose her identity as an American (and yes yes yes I know its not the accent, or lack thereof that makes you american). Should I encourage her to lose it?

Kaneltryffel


3 ½ dl vispgrädde
ca 4 cm hel kanel
300 g mörk choklad, helst Pur Caraïbe 66%

Koka upp grädde och kanel i en kastrull. Ta den från värmen och låt grädden stå och dra under lock ca 30 minuter.
Hacka chokladen mycket fint och lägg den i en skål.
Värm grädden på nytt och sila den långsamt över chokladen. Rör under tiden med en träsked tills massan är homogen.
Häll massan i en form, täck med plastfolie och låt den stå kallt tills den känns fast.
Rulla massan till kulor eller skär fyrkantiga bitar och vänd dem i kakaopulver eller doppa dem i smält choklad.

You can say
"as you requested" or
"Per your request"

So why do people say "as per"-- isnt that redundant or is there some meaning to it specifically?
