Chinese is a strange language, hard to learn, I failed miserably trying to. I get made fun of when I even try to say anything to my brother-in-law.

But, things you can get with this list:
Maze spider, Labyrinth pig; rotten princess; wasteful princess; narrow princess; dense worker boil (tasty).

Don't feel bad Kev. I lived in South East Asia for 5 years and didn't pick up more than a few phrases.

Eastern languages are kinda different, heh. Even more so because we (ok, I) have a tendency to want a literal translation for everything, which is pretty much impossible at times while keeping the original intent pure.
