@yankee00,Thanks again. I'm thinking of travelling to Latin America and changing my job to one related to Spanish in the future.
But u are right about the practice thing. French will be more easily accessible in KM. I will figure out later.
Thanks again, Buddy, u are being very helpful.
@LEVimmortal, thanks pal. Heard of French is kind of much more difficult than Spanish. Maybe I will just start from the easy one since my mother language is not alphabetic. Maybe just like studying English, I should use all the resources as u mentioned and try to improve abilities on speaking, writing, listening and reading.
@yankee00, thanks, the books and website are really informative. I will check out on them later. I just hope those Spanish or French words wouldn't be messed with English I've learned.
@Liumingke1234, Thanks, Buddy. I think I will mainly focus on conversational and try to learn the basic stuff about written thing. It's always not an easy task to learn new language, especially an alphabetic language for a Chinese. And I am fully prepared for a long learning process.
Thinking about starting to learn Spanish or French or both. Is it wise to study both at the same time? or which one should I start first? And if I want to study these two languages by myself (I mean not going to those language school), any books or website to recommend?
Thanks for taking time for my post.
I really appreciate your suggestions.
THX,
Stathis:)

Jianshui: southern Yunnan's cultural gem
Posted byActually, there is a bus from Jianshui city area to swallow cave, which costs 10rmb. If taking the bus to Mengzi or Gejiu, you got to walk off the highway and walk nearly one kilometer to the gate. You can take the bus in the same station with those from kunming.
Confucius temple in Jianshui is the second largest of its kind in China, not the third if i am correct.
Kunming residents rally against chemical plant
Posted byYoung people are forgetting their history...right, how could i forget those history i have learned for more than ten years. It seems some people are really blamed young generation for being "foreign-oriented". It's like exposing badness to the other countries means young people don't love this country anymore. We young people do this because we are oppressed since going to the kindergarten. We can't go to a demonstration when the Olympic torch is grabbed, when those innocent sailor got killed on the Mekong River, when Diaoyu Island is possessed by Japanese... We can't do nothing but watch the gov saying:"We are always trying to settle disputes peacefully...".
Yeah, young people are lost. Do u know why? We do not dare to protest until our ordinary life is threatened.
About Marxism, Ian Fu, what China are doing now is really what Marx has said. You know much better than me.
Kunming residents rally against chemical plant
Posted byThe students are not only prohibited from involving in the protest, but they can't ask for a leave for every class, even if u are going to die. And if one is caught for going to the protests, he or she will be punished and will never ever get a chance to take a job in the gummint.
Life after the boom – Yunnan's tin capital goes bust
Posted byGejiu is actually much more like a spring city than Kunming. The temperature ranges from 10 to 30 degree for the whole year. But it is too small without continuous ability to develop in the future. It may not a good place to work but absolutely a good place to spend the time when u are too old to go anywhere. Love it.
Kunming battling Chinglish
Posted by@Asanee, maybe I am too overgeneralized. I just helped my company to negotiate with three persons from Burma. Kind of Chinglish. Maybe just a coincidence.
