Yesterday i posted a subject here, seeking for some advice to improve my English. By doing this i've collected lots of excellent ideas by now, and i really appreciated that. When i woked up this morning, i thought it would be the right time to apply those ideas to practice now.
I'm seeking for someone who is a native English speaker, has sore of experience of learning it and wants to improve his/her oral Chinese to a new level. Even though i live in the other side of the earth, we could do it via the online-communication software, such as MSN, Skype, etc(Do i look like making the advertisement? :) ).
Deep down, the biggest spur to my English learning is the desire to experience and to explore another tolally different culture. China, as an attractive country with its history could be traced back to 5000 years ago, is raising now.
You wanna experience that? Don't hesitate to response to the invitation. :)

Even Mao Zedong said China's history only traced back 3000. I'd much rather learn Hindi, because the next century belongs to India. Their history is much older anyway. And they don't have to make theirs up

Are you being funny? Let me tell you something.
First, as regards China's long history, you "quoted" "mao's words" to illustrate how short its history is. As a Chinese, i'm obligated to correct you right now. You probably overlooked a word -- B.C. -- in the sentence. Now you should be getting it, by the year 2007, the history of China is the sum of 2007 and 3000. It's 5007. Got it?
Second, I didn't see any creative idea in your expression -- "I'd much rather learn Hindi, because the next century belongs to India." You see, the Chinese hold the idea that the 21th century belong to them, while the Indian have a contrast answer. But the fact is that, actually we are already in 21th century now, and THE ONE who can do anything as it wants, is U.S.A. Got it?
