I am studying Mandarin Chinese in the anticipation of possibly visiting China in August 2013. I thought that the sounds of Chinese words would have no relationship to the sounds of the same words in other languages, but I am discovering that this is not true. I also like discovering palindromes in different languages. What interesting discovery have you made while studying a language different from your native language?
