Hi guys! I have a new hobby and I am really enjoying it . I'm learning Chinese language and calligraphy through an android app! It's called Hello Chinese. It's a good app. I learn a lot of things. With this new experience, I could say that it's easier to learn Chinese language than Spanish language because Chinese is pretty straight forward unlike the other. The most exciting part is the calligraphy! I'm so proud of myself that I am now able to write some in sentence though my writing is not really good How bout you guys? Any new hobby? Adventure?

Oh! I was inspired by one of the online teachers in a website that I applied for. He was teaching Chinese children English. He speaks the language fluently and thought that it was good to learn the language first so that I'll have an edge to other applicants though the website doesn't require a Chinese language skill. And I have plans o applying as a transcriber and I'll start with the chinese language

I'm happy that you are doing well and trying your hand on other languages. Chinese is good but i always confuse it with language of pictures

Obsidian with engraving
I am wondering if you could give me any information about the engraving on this piece of Obsidian that I have. It looks to be either Chines or Japanese. Also, I am going to NYC in September for four days an then cruise to Bermuda so I am trying to learn about both places.

@renicemae Yes I am, and almost published with my fourth book. That's nothing new for me. I've been writing all my life. Writing can be frustrating.

I have tried in a couple of days to learn by myself the alphabet of Russian, it was the first time. It was very easy to grasp calligraphy. Now, I can read some words. It was a challenge for me. I love to be different.

Good for you! It doesn't look easy though. So many different strokes just to form a word meaning 'Love'.

I agree to that. Their writing is difficult but the language is not. Chinese language is pretty straight forward

Hmmm. I wanted to teach you English . Do you want to exchange language with me? I'll practice my Chinese language to you to. It's a give and take situation.
