I am translating a sentence from mandarn Chinese to American English and I am hoping one of you can help me. The part I am having trouble translating into English is the literal phrase of, "Zhang Mrs. Doctor." Please keep in mind that this is a form of addressing this woman. I would translate it as Dr. Zhang. Should I leave out the "Mrs." or include it somewhere? Thanks. :)

well, in two weeks I have a Chinese (Mandarin) exam/ essay and I have to handwrite 200-300 characters/words with only a Chinese dictionary in one 70 minute lesson.... my problem is I can recognize the characters, and recognize the pronunciation.... i just can't remember how to actually write them...
so how long would it take to memorize how to write 250 characters? and how can I?
Thanks :)

What is the difference between 力量(li liang) and 力(li)? Is there a difference? Is one used more commonly than the other? If either of the two characters stood alone, would they mean the same thing?

I've recently begun studying Chinese independently.
My school doesn't offer Chinese classes, so I've been using the vast stockpile of free internet resources.
Quizlet for studying and learning the pronounciation (Quizlet's speak function can handle 汉字 and I check the pinyin tones on each word I put on a list with tiktionary to make sure I'm learning it right.
Some .pdf files I've found for practicing written Chinese that have practice squares and stroke order guides.
ETC...
I think I'm studying well, but I get tripped up on a few things regarding verb usage...
When forming sentences with verbs that have multiple ways to be written, which do you use?
For Example:
The sentence, "I Study Chemistry," could be written either,
"我学化学," or, "我学习化学。"
Both mean essentially the same thing, only difference is that the verb is more specific in the expanded sentence.
Does this make the statement more formal and if so, would informal spoken Chinese take preference to the contracted form?
Is there is a specific time/situation where one is preferred?
I need an answer to this as soon I can find one, because this seems to happen with just about every verb I've learned so far, with the exception of a few like 是.
Like the verb for to know/to understand/to recognize, would you use, "认, 识, or 认识?"
“我认化学,"
"我识化学,"
or,
"我认识化学?"
Please Help!
Thanks in Advance!

I moved to Canada from China when I was five years old, so I never went to school there. I never learned how to read or write Chinese, and now I really want to, but I can never remember all the characters. Plus, I'm in high school so I don't have a lot of time with school and piano and volleyball. Any ideas?
