O meu trabalho num cassino Olá pessoal! Hoje quero falar sobre meu trabalho no cassino de Hamburgo. Trabalho no cassino por cinco anos e posso trabalhar na roleta e dar cartões no Blackjack e pôquer. Gosto mais de trabalhar em roleta e pôquer, porque acho muito interesante e divertido. Blackjack só é muito chato! Os jogadores de pôqer às vezes são bêm arrogante, mas também tem amigáveis. Na roleta eu às vezes alegro para os jogadores, mas sempre tenho que parecer neutro. Na totalidade gosto muito do meu trabalho! http://vocaroo.com/i/s1WZHSuiOmbI

Speeking Practice 3: Here is another text written and spoken by me. This time very specific vocabulary, I hope I got it right. 今天我想告诉我的工作。 我在汉堡的赌场工作。我会发牌轮盘二十一点和扑克。我最喜欢发牌轮盘和扑克，因为我觉得变种和很有意思。二十一点只是很无聊。 我觉得一些扑克玩家一点儿妄自，但是也有和气的。 在轮盘我有时跟玩家一起欢呼，但是我总是要显得中立。 我毕竟喜欢我的工作！ http://vocaroo.com/i/s1wbumGRuIMV

Speaking Practice 1 Hi, I decided that I have to focus much more on more pronounciation (especially the tones) when learning Mandarin. Vocab and characters alone won't cut it.. Especially because pronounciation is always my main problems when learning languages. Therefore I decided to record myself while reading the following text. Bear in mind that I am really at the very beginning of my mandarin learning and therefore am purposely speaking slow to focus on getting the tones right. Speed will come much later, first I have to manage to even get it right while speaking that slow. Audio: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0IhKSQk4ksB Listening to that i realize that i really have to invest MUCH more time on pronounciation. Here is the text: A: 您好！ B: 您好！ A: 请问， 您贵姓？ B: 我姓李， 叫李马力。请问，您姓什么？ A: 我姓宋，叫宋华。您是哪国人？ B: 我是美国人，是北京大学的学生。 A: 认识您很高兴。 B: 认识您，我也很高兴。

What does 我不但会说中国话还会说德国话和美国话。mean? Somebody just wrote "我不但会说中国话还会说德国话和美国话。" and some other stuff under a comment of me and I was wondering what exactly this means, because I can't figure out if he was being arrogant towards me or friendly and sometimes it's good to know this for sure because I don't want to make a fool out of myself :D
