22: "To Live" by Yu Hua : Reading Mandarin Chinese Fiction with Phil

Being able to read in another language requires so much more than just vocabulary and grammar. That's why we brought Phil back on the show to highlight some distinct differences between modern written Chinese fiction and the same genre in English. ​

Phil's first interview on Geopats:https://geopats.podbean.com/e/changing-scripts-ep-2-phil-reading-scifi-in-chinese/

Phil joined us again with local college student Yifei for a group chat:

Three sentence dialogue Phil talks about in this episode:
求你看在福贵他爹的分上让家珍留下吧
他爹都让他气死啦.
你也别怪我心狠,都是那畜生胡来才会有今天
 

What is happening on Geopats Podcast this month (November 2019)?
All month I will be doing a range of experimental micro episodes about language. The main focus, as usual in our language show, will be on Mandarin Chinese but I make zero promises to stick to one language. In fact, I fully expect that I will swerve towards and away from other languages throughout the month as well. This experimentation is part of National Podcast Posting Month, NaPodPoMo (it's international really but it started nationally in the U.S. many years ago so the name stuck) http://napodpomo.org/,   https://www.facebook.com/groups/napodpomo/ and http://www.rssmix.com/u/9742423/rss.xml
 
Oh, and I will make reference to my language YouTube channel so here is that link as well https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClzR7HySZTVb6g-tSzAhi5A
