Forums > Living in Kunming > Driver License Test

Went yesterday (31st Jan) to register for the test. All the necessary paperwork is the same, fees are the same. We asked if it was possible to download/buy an English study manual, but were told to simply do a search for the English version online. We were at the office around 4.45pm though, so maybe everyone was ready to knock off work? Lovely and convenient time though, we were the only ones around...that's IF you don't mind a time challenge ;)

We're going to use the guide that RiSiG sUn provided above...how much can the rules possibly change?

Hey,
Not sure if it's just phrases you are after, but if you're looking for a good quality mandarin dictionary app, try pleco. It's free, so you could always get a phrase app in conjunction with it...

Forums > Study > where to study chinese, advice needed.

I may be interested in language exchange.
I'm an English native speaker, looking to improve her Chinese.

I could also walk someone through the very basics of French too, though my English is much much better :)

I'd be looking to do a swap - 1 hour english for 1 hour chinese (or something similar) no fees involved.

I doubt there are many people in Kunming who DON"T speak Kunminghua - however you might ask if you can be placed with a family that also speak Mandarin.

When I was here last, I was in a small class with friends from the same uni. I'm sure we improved over the short course, however our other uni friend (who was at a different level) got a class all to himself - and I KNOW that he improved lots in the short amount of time. How could it fail if you were one-on-one? Depends on your learning style I suppose, but I think that you can always hang around Foreigner street if you feel the need for company ;) and learn one-on-one to improve your Chinese...
