Chinglish make more easy.
This page is a light-hearted look at common English mistakes made by Chinese learners of English.
It is not to make fun of the many contributors I have had, but to help Students overcome the common problems and mistakes in learning English. Usually these mistakes come from trying to translate directly from Chinese to English. I would assume it would also occur in other Languages and I would appreciate any examples.
