This is very neat. I love Word Play, especially in languages.
The original poster describes it as follows:
From left to right, top to bottom, the Mandarin pronunciation of the sentence, in hanyu pinyin, is “jin4 shi4 jin4 shi4 jin4 shi4 jin4 shi4.”
“jin shi” == in recent times
“jin shi” == scholars. (A particular grade awarded to candidates in ancient China’s imperial examinations, I believe.)
“jin shi” == “are all”
“jin shi” == nearsighted
I need to seriously memorize this one. It’s so amusing.
Thanks to Ng Phen Siong for posting this!
I have a passive interest in learning languages. Some of the trickier
languages for a native English speaker are Chinese, Japanese, Russian and
Arabic do to their different writing systems (I left out a lot). In
my search for stuff on the web, most of it has been rather uninspired
but this site I stumbled across seems to have gotten the idea really
well in how to use the web to help the beginner.

I can say I’m really impressed. Teaching the alphabet with sounds and
a little bit of singing and interactivity shows what a computer can do
to help assist in the language learning process.
