Jeg var aldri noen stor fan av Dr Pepper, men jeg er glad for at det går å kjøpe cherry og vanilla coke igjen, selvom de er drittdyre (fordi de er importert).

I was never a huge fan of Dr Pepper, but I'm happy that it's possible to buy cherry and vanilla coke again, even if they're expensive as hell (because they're imported).

Astraios at the ZBB helped me. There are two good sites which I use. If you want, I could show you.

喝起来DrPepper就不象胡椒粉。我总是把这个事情弄糊涂。

Dr. Pepper tastes nothing like pepper. This has always confused me.

我想DrPepper是樱桃。我朋友高速我。

Me pienso Dr. Pepper es el sabor de cereza. Mi amiga dije que.
Mi Chino es muy malo (mi Español tambien). Ayude usted, por favor.

I think Dr. Pepper is cherry. My friend told me.
My chinese is very bad (my Spanish is falling, too). Please help me.

我的中文是很不好 (for noun-adjective sentences, you don't need 是; 很不好 sounds weird to me, but it might be okay, I'm not sure)。请帮助我。
老实说,我是中文的学生,不是中国人。不知道如果我能帮你,可是我努力!

Honestly, I'm just a student of Chinese, not Chinese myself. I don't know if I can help, but I'll try!

Thank you!
I live in Shanghai, but also not Chinese. I'm in Year 1 Chinese. (Year one chinese student?)
We don't know "gaosu"; I don't know which character it is.

No me gusta nada Dr. Pepper! Es muy mal porque el sabor es asco. Me gusta Diet Coke. No es dulce, pero es muy sabroso.

I don't like Dr. Pepper at all. It is very bad because the flavor is gross. I like Diet Coke. It's not sweet, but it's really delicious.

如果我喝可乐我病了,所以我不知道是不是DrPepper比DietCoke好喝。可是我喜欢的”diet”汁不多。

I get sick when I drink soda, so I don't know whether Dr. Pepper or Diet Coke is best, but I don't usually like diet fruit juice.

Dr. Pepper is better than Diet Coke!

什么样的茶是你最喜欢的?要不是我不敢睡觉我并不喜欢喝咖啡。

What kind of tea is your favorite? Unless I really have to stay awake, I hate drinking coffee.

Me gusta el té verde o el té blanco. Usualmente tomo una copa antes de dormir y con el desayuno.
Tambien, me gusta el café! Hago un expreso que es ricisimo.



I like green tea or white tea. I usually have a cup before going to sleep and for breakfast.
I like coffee too. I make a delicious espresso.


EDIT: Que tonta. Pusé 'and' en vez de 'y.'

三年,和不是。我是expat在上海。我爸爸的工作要我们住在中国。

他们今年要我们住在台湾。我们不要。

你住在哪儿?你在那儿learn中文

3 years, and no I'm not. I'm an expat in Shanghai. My dad's work wants us to live in China.

This year they want us to live in Taiwan. We don't want that.

Where do you live? Where do you learn Chinese?
