How to survive the Chinese language jungle during the Olympics
Understanding and loving languages with bab.la
China expects about one million additional foreign tourists for the Olympics this year. "The Chinese language and Chinese culture are very different from other languages. Our Olympics page is designed to help people learn about China and communicate with each other while enjoying the Games" says Rainbow Ng, Chinese project manager at bab.la.
bab.la has added thousands of sports translations to its collaborative English-Chinese dictionary as well as many special Olympics language quizzes. In line with the wiki-style approach users have also entered many new sports translations, rated and commented on the quizzes. In addition, the printable help booklet offers many expressions and sentences, from booking a hotel, ordering food at the restaurant or getting to the stadium.
The Olympics page can be found at http://bab.la/olympics.php.
