Podcast (播客)

You might be wondering what has happen? There isn't any post of late. Well, actually I am still learning Mandarin everyday and progressing well.

Of late, I had been busy learning Mandarin from this site.

At ChinesePod, you can find many lessons from absolute beginners to advanced students. I like the conversation style of the teaching. Besides, the feature where one can bookmark or remove learned lessons is great. With this, I can now study on the go on my mp3 player.

Well, listen to the podcast below and judge yourself whether it is suitable for you.

Harbour (靠岸)

Today I am going to learn Mandarin by singing another song that my children like to sing. Check out this site for an English translation of this song.

Below is the MV of this song:

靠岸- Sang by: 林宇中

1:
你坐在我身边
可是表情很不自然
聊的话很平凡却很悲伤

你说你不相信
活着就是为了梦想
甚至你更怀疑
什么是地久天长

咖啡麻醉不了孤单
只会让心更烫
哦都一样
所谓梦想终究飘飘荡荡

在迷乱的台北流浪
寻找一个幻想
突然很渴望在我身上
找到你要的靠岸

Repeat 1

这一刻
当我们都感觉到彼此的心愿
爱情早已经开始
思念早己经蔓延

咖啡麻醉不了孤单
只会让夜更长
我也一样飘飘荡荡
眼神交换迷惘

在冷漠的台北流浪
找一个避风港
突然很渴望在你身上
也找到我要的靠岸
