中文

Part of my brain works in Chinese. I have two Chinese centres. One from my school years onwards where I can speak Chinese by working at it from English. The other is from my childhood. I know a mixture of dialects and I cannot translate it into English without a dictionary. The page if for the latter. Sometimes things just pop into my head, words, sayings, phrases. This is my record of those phrases. Though it is a little difficult as I only have a mandarin dictionary and my ability to write directly into Romanisation is poor. If you have a better interpretation, please let me know.
