Chinese is supposed to be very easy to learn. They speak very simply, e.g. instead of saying "I am going to the shop now" they say " I go to the shop now". Not a good example, but I don't think they use past, present and future tenses which is one of the most difficult aspects of understanding a new language.

Sounds easy, put there are probably more bigger words to make up for there being just a few words

I live in England too, I learnt German since.. Year 7.. It's pretty easy, but now, I'm in year 10, I just told my school that I couldn't really be arsed to learn a language, so I get free periods when everyone else is doing an MFL (Modern Foreign Language)
Quality Street!

I've seen Chinese letters written from the top of the page downwards or the opposite but I'm really not sure. It could just be used for letters or I might of imagined seeing it. It was in Game of Death 2, a "Bruce Lee" film. Its a "Bruce Lee" film because they used footage from his other films and wrote a plot around that

Hell yeh man, I've got the Box Set (the one that makes a picture if you put your vids side by side) My favourite is Fist of Fury or Way of the Dragon (they go by different names in America i think) But yeh Bruce was the man, wasn't opposed to odd hash cake no and again too

Yeah mate, way of the dragon is my favourite, box sets are sweet too. How much was the whole set, I mean, was it all together when you bought it, or did you buy them all seperately?

I think you can get them all together but I got them seperately. They cost about £5 each on VHS but they have the nunchuck scenes censored
The DVD versions are uncensored though. So guns are suitable for films but nunchucks aren't? Anyone can use a gun, nunchucks are hard to use unless you're experienced. Crazy film board

I bet that with the new admin-like functions Caro will now replace "u" by "you" and ect, ect ect
