Remember that time everyone in the 'Verse spoke Mandarin, but not one Asian got a speaking role?

as a mandarin speaker, it's one of the worst language for offending people.

The worst part of foreign-language shade-throwing is when you understand but can't join in without using English and blowing it :/

Unfortunately no, it's on my backlog but I'm actually trying to finish scrubs first.

Hurry up. You won't be able to see this bird flipping girl as Dr. Reid again.

Disregard Scrubs for now, you'll need it when you finish Firefly and need more joy to recover from the brief but beautiful work, Firefly.

I just watched firefly for the first time this week. What's with all the mandarin? I figured it was a way to curse on tv. Is there more?

2/ matter. So, most people speak both English and Mandarin. This is the Firefly 'verse.

Season 2 has even more Mandarin. Also, Wash lives forever.

Think about 1/3 of people on earth currently being Chinese. That makes Mandarin a strong candidate for a galactic first language.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Not really. In-universe, I guess it's a reflection of the blending of cultures/languages as we became a spacefaring civilization.

10 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

iirc the dominant cultures in the Alliance when it started were the Chinese and US. Thus the vernacular mixes both.

5 people down voted me for stating a truth. Point to a person that you know that isn't Chinese and speaks Mandarin. A tiny percentage isn't.

How did you learn? I REALLY want to learn because English is my only language I know, but don't know how to go about learning

If you really want to learn, the best way is to put yourself in an environment where you have frequent exposure to it. I picked up basic 1/2

Comprehension of mandarin because all my coworkers used it. If you can, find a friend who is interested and speak to them solely in that 2\3

Language. If not, spend more time on sites based on that language. You can even set your facebook and other social media to the language 3/4
