It's not because they like horses so much,
62

2762
Tigar je još jedna nepoželjna životinja,
04:00
due to its volatile temperament.
70
228048
1808
zbog svog promijenjivog temperamenta.
04:02
Many Chinese regions

04:24
and it's interesting to see
77
252539
2033
i zanimljivo je vidjeti
04:26
the most undesirable two animals,
the Goat and Tiger,
the Goat and Tiger,
78
254596
3578
kako su dvije najnepoželjnije životinje,

04:34
So maybe we should consider,
81
262351

Dakle, možda bismo trebali uzeti u obzir,
04:36
maybe it's much better
to have less competition.

možda je puno bolje
imati manje konkurencije.

04:40
One last but interesting point:

Her first book, Chineasy, The New Way to Read Chinese, was launched in March 2014 and has been translated into 18 languages. Her next book, Chineasy Everyday, was launched in March 2016.

Her aim is to help people to understand China, Chinese culture, its language and to bridge the gap between East and West. Her next step is to help Chinese children to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of their own language.
