"This emotional journey compelled me to want understand the past of my own Taiwanese mother better. It is the story of four Chinese American women in San Francisco and how their mothers’ struggles in the Chinese homeland made them who they were. It is a highly emotional and exceptionally beautiful story."

East meets west
Thrown together in an East meets West scenario that puts Chinese detective Lee (Jackie Chan) in a perfectly bizzare pair up with loud mouthed, over eccentric, flirtatious comedy cop detective Carter (Chris Tucker).

With its explosive action, quirky humour rush hour has aged brilliantly that see's the duo awkwardly enter a cat and mouse game as they work together in order to track down a Chinese criminal who's kidnapped the daughter of a Chinese consul.

WAR! what is it good for?.....

English to Chinese has no explanations, they just start you off with learning both the symbols and words without knowing the English translations of them. Sometimes the app freezes in the middle of a lesson. (0 more)
I use the app on a daily basis to study French. Have dabbled in Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Esperanto, Welsh, and Gaelic.
