<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4526627, member: 19463"]Curious: Is there more on Wang An Shih available online in Chinese than in English? This thread has recommended several books in languages I do not read. Some books (Cohen comes to mind) can be used by people who do not read the language but who have picked up a few words or have a basis in Latin. I do not buy books or visit websites in languages I do not read but that does not mean that the scholarship is not there. I am not much of a scholar. A college professor friend was interested in Roman Provincials from the reason and taught herself Bulgarian because there were several books then that had been published in that language. A college professor of mine was 4F in WWII so he taught the school's Spanish classes when that entire staff had been drafted even though he had no background in the subject on day one. He read Greek, Latin, Egyptian and a couple of the cuneiform languages so picking up Spanish was not a big thing. The world of books and the WWW expands considerably for those who read a dozen languages. I had trouble with Greek and gave up on hieroglyphics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
