I'm totally guilty of that, even though my chinese is plenty good enough to talk to the locals. Point 5 is just spot on.

You're totally right - it's a fun way to learn, and <a href="http://chinahopelive.net/category/songs" target="http://chinahopelive.net/category/songs" rel="nofollow">a karaoke repertoire</a> is a basic necessity in China. "Happy Niú Year" to you, too! @Josh Yeah, I should have mentioned more games. In our area, the old guys play Chinese chess, the middle aged guys play cards. In Taipei the old guys played 围棋 all day long. The students here play cards a lot. @Chris I agree about the news, it's just too bad that newspapers aren't very accessible for language students. It takes a while to build up a big enough vocab. I wish Tianjin had local English news. Ha, that's funny about the security guard. I bet he loved you! @Mary Ann
