Olympic Fever

The Beijing Olympic website has a fun little feature:  Learn Chinese phrases!  Every day, Fuwa, one of the Olympic mascots will teach you a different phrase.  Bonus:  You can also learn it in French.  It’s always interesting to see what phrases other people think are important in their language.  For example, on this site you can learn, “You are a very precise person,” and, “She’s blonde.”

Oh, there are plenty of phrases that help you navigate traffic and the post office.  Unfortunately, I didn’t see any for the Olympic sports themselves.  I suppose you have to learn the Chinese word from each sport’s page, and then you can have at it with your sporting conversations.
