活到老学到老 (huó dào lǎo xué dào lǎo)

Literally, "live until you're old, study until you're old."

This is not just an easy-to-understand idiom. This attitude of life-long learning is essential for us adult learners of Chinese. We're in it for the long haul, and loving it! ❤️

Maybe they're onto something here...next up: adding arms to the Venus de Milo or sharpening ambiguous pond reflections in Monet's Water Lillies?

Shout out to Jared and John's "You Can Learn Chinese podcast" for their Jan 10 segment on the learning and time advantages of typing vs writing characters (based on research by Dr. Phyllis Zhang 张霓). Matches our own experiences as well! #Chinese #LanguageLearning

Once upon a time, a human belittled another human who spoke broken English, until the first human discovered English was the second human's third or fourth language, and then the first human felt rather stupid and decided to shut the f*** up.

Most people in #China are pro-animal and pro-environment. We need them on our side in the quest to right these animal wrongs.

@ehouserdotcom It's sad that most Americans know woefully little about China, its people, and its culture. Scaremonger comments by ignorant public figures do not constitute a fair and open discussion about such an important topic.
