Aha, I was just taking a look at Wujimon’s blog front page… as I navaigated away, I thought — what? what was that? — and went back. What had caught my attention at the last second was an older post listing about Chinese sentence structure. I had missed this first time around… and it’s a goodie, including an embedded hyperlink to further recommended info.

Quite possibly I will not learn much chinese in this lifetime but since language reflects how we view the universe and assemble its pieces in our own lives, it’s good to try and get a feel for various cultures’ approach. (Especially if you’re interested in the fruits of those cultures.)
