[IBC] language tapes/CDs; also, history shallow stone trays for penjing
IBC posts should strictly be about miniature scenery or trees.
Occasionally, however, we lapse into related shared interests. If interested, a good promotional price on language learning tapes or CDs including Japanese & Mandarin Chinese is available. You can contact me for details. I'm not the seller or financially involved, but stumbled upon an excellent offer (likely to end) for material I am using and like. The program consists of 30 audio lessons of 1/2 hour each (I generally replay each three times before moving forward) for $91.50. It lists for $345 & is sold by Amazon for $241.50. The lessons teach speech-- not writing. FWIW, the book _Remembering Hirigana_ by James Heisig is highly recommended to begin study of written Japanese. Hirigana is the Japanese syllabary (phonetic alphabet) for words of Japanese origin. It is only $10, new, and perhaps is available in your library as it is in mine. Check out the reviews on Amazon.com. OB' bonsai, I was recently surprised when reviewing bonsai history publications that Yunhua Hu credited the use of shallow marble trays for penjing as introduced in the 1960s. I imagined an earlier & continuing use. Are earlier Chinese penjing compositions not known on shallow stone trays? Best wishes, Chris... C.
