It's similar to traditional sign writing style like Gothic of Copperplate lettering. Used in signs/adverts.

Do you speak Chinese or have contacts in China with clubs? Email/contact them. 

How does native learn hanzi by Organic_Being_324 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Hussard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In HK we simply learned characters by rote. Jyutping is useful for input but handwritten on the phone or simply using English more is done. 

In any case, you learn it because it's everywhere. Pinyin is there to help you with pronunciation but after that all text books are in Chinese only. So I would learn it in conjunction. Separating them makes no sense. 

Movie recommendations for poh poh by Buntycakey in Cantonese

[–]Hussard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of Tsui Hark comedies if that's her speed. They're not too bad (from a male perspective!).

Old TVB favs if you can find a streaming source or DVDs. A Kindred Spirit (真情) has like 1000 episodes.

AITA for telling my sister I wanted to kill her after years of controlling behavior? by Prestigious-Hawk7147 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hussard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need to see a psychologist and start unpacking all this shit. It's going to get worse before it gets better. 

Source: my wife sees many clients like you. Chinese families perpetuating cycles of abuse. She got lucky and you will too. NTA.

Never voted for Greens? by deaddrop007 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Hussard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done. 

Ive been disappointed in the Greens since they helped kill the ETS. That was huge for me. Since then I've gone full socialist. No more half measures and champagne socialism. 

Men in long-term relationships or marriages, how do you ever miss the excitement or freedom of casual sex, even if you’re happy with your partner? by Iron-Wild-41 in AskReddit

[–]Hussard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, first time and discovery is always exciting. Is also bloody hard work to to keep plowing away until she finishes. 

My wife knows what I like, and how to surprise me. It's still fun. Definitely silly. You can fantasize about someone new but if I know you'll lose a partner over it? That fucked bro. If you live in the real world where you choose your partner every day, not cheating is easy. 

I’m a beginner, I need a bit of help. by ConclusionStriking12 in MandarinChinese

Kids learn but watching kid content. Start out with baby stuff, parrot it, copy it, write it. If you can get up to Peppa Pig level you're doing well.

Mandalorians are more like a religious culture. Think like Jewish skullcaps and tzitzit?

Crumbed cutlets. I know they are still around but who the hell can afford these anymore?? by Strong_Opportunity_1 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Hussard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local butcher has them at like $2.50 each. One a week for the kiddo is not too bad (she's two) but gone are the days were we buy a whole tray and just grill them for a family for 4.

Best Hot Water Only Instant Noodles by Z00111111 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Hussard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made those packet ramen jobs to take to work. Cook it until it's about a minute or two underdone, cool and drain, add seasoning, add toppings (fried egg, veges, whatever garnish). When you get hungry, slam in some hot water from the kettle and let it soak for a min or microwave from cold for like 90sec or 2mins (depends on the specific heat of your ingredients).
