The way I understand it leaves me confused. Wo yao tang = I want soup Wo xiang tang = I would like soup Wo xiang yao tang = I would like want soup <-- This I don't understand. Isn't this redundant? This is mandarin Chinese pinyin, by the way. Additional Details So, in the case of "wo xiang yao tang", the "xiang" has absolutely nothing to do with "would like to"? The "xiang" is put before the "yao" to make "wo yao tang" sound more polite? If so, then what is the actual definition of "xiang" in "xiang yao" or should "xiangyao" just be seen as one word basically meaning "politely want"?

Alright here it is: I went to Seattle for my holiday because I have family and friends that live there as well as a house. I lived in Seattle before I moved to Bei Jing this is why I frequently visit. I stayed in Seattle for three weeks at my old house. During this time I saw many old friends, snowboarded and family members from australia came and visited. My grandmother and grandfather on my mother side came from sydney to share christmas with us. An aunt and uncle also stayed for a few weeks in our house with us. My eldest sister came with her boyfriend on christmas. Both of them already live America. There are mountains to snowboard on within 30 minutes of my house. My favorite part of my holiday was seeing my old friends. Many of them can drive which made it easy to see a lot of them. Christmas and New Years were also fun with my family.

Can I learn on line ? Or books in romanian or hungary language ?
