    I think they took it down, maybe the link's not so obvious as it was earlier, perhaps the Chinese national traffic killed their Real(tm) server.:)
    They captioned his English responses.

    I think some people are making the language issue much more complicated than it is.
    I'm not a language structure expert.
    But in my opinion, don't force yourself into memorizing all those language structures or rules (verb declension, count modifier? What's that?). Just read more (get familiarized) and the correct structure will come to you naturally.

    I'm Chinese and I know 3 types of language very well.

    -Mandarin, Cantonese and Hainanese (Chinese dialects)
    -English
    -Malay language (Indonesian language) (I was the chief editor of the Malay school magazine in my Malay high school)

    All 3 are different in language structure.
    The trick is to think in the language when you are speaking in that language. Tune your mind a little when you are speaking in another language. And to be able to do this, you need to read more and speak more. As simple as that.

    If you guys have been to Shanghai or Beijing, you will understand why Ming like the traffic in U.S.

    Ming will use I-10 very often. But the traffic jams on I-10 is nothing compared to the traffic jams in Shanghai.
