Conversational Mandarin

Description

Minseok isn't really the type to complain, but he kind of hates having to learn Mandarin. He especially kind of hates it when his band members force him to learn Mandarin. Minseok thinks he might just sort of hate the whole language in general.

But at least he's rooming with Zitao instead of Wufan.

Foreword

Again with crappy summaries. Can I just give up on them, because I would like to. Also, I'm not even sure where this came from. I Mean, I know this plot has been done by, like, fifty million people, but still. Not a freaking clue.

Oh, and I don't know Mandarin, so anyone who does and sees any glaring mistakes, please tell me. I just sort of went through a wikitravel phrasebook and picked out whatever looked like it would work. So...yeah.

Chapter 1: that part of the phone call was awesome ! xD They were complaining about kris and luhan understood everything xD
the only bad part about this is that i kept trying to imagine the chinese words and phrases (as i am a chinese) and it made me have a good headache LOL

Chapter 1: Daebak xD Jongdae you smart ! It must have been really frustrating for them to learn korean :( But I'm still proud of them though! I kept laughing when they had the quiz. This is awesome :))Thank you for the wonderful story and I hope there will be more soon! :D

Chapter 1: The way you placed the translation after the Chinese made this flow very smoothly. And I liked how you used bits of foreshadow: like how Tao no longer said "repeat" but "what" and that Minseok started to say "repeat" and how they used the Chinese they heard the others say in the beginning to throw back at the Chinese members at the end. I never knew how much I could love crack until I read your stories. The balance is perfect. Not too much crack that the story becomes nonexistent and I just feel like cringing but just enough so I want to bang the table in laughter. That phone part though. I sincerely considered rolling on the floor. Seriously. Jongdae, you're a certified genius. XDDD

Chapter 1: Oh, this is so cute! I sympathise so much with Xiumin and Chen. Even though I'm Chinese, my Mandarin is so atrocious I can't even say the things you wrote here. XD yes, tones are a . This is a hilarious story and Chen's idea was brilliant! I like the way you differentiated between Chinese and Korean with the italics, it was very clear. (And did Seok and Chen get into some problem with the police at one point? The dumb thing they did when Tao started interrogating Xiumin? Or was it just that they had a lesson and tried to hide it?)
