Just give me the Chinese pinyin or Chinese characters for it

For my school, I need to take 2 years of 1 language and 4 of another. I'm taking 4 of Russian, and it's very easy to me. But I don't know if I should take 2 of Chinese or Latin. If you don't think I should take either, my school also offers Japanese (which i took a boring year of), Spanish (which everyone takes), French (which I hate), German (which would be fun but a lot of people take it), and Arabic.

Which one and why? I would pick Chinese because there are more things Chinese around me than Japanese. I could also speak Chinese in Chinatown and stuff. LOL.

I'm kind of confused about these terms. So please help me understand them well enough. What is Mandarin/Mandarin Chinese or Chinese Mandarin? (Are they any different at all?) Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese Cantonese Han Chinese Hanyu(or is it Han Yu?) that's all. I just need some simple explanations for each. Thanks so much in advance.

A: Do you know the art of chopsticks? B: Could you teach me how to use chopsticks?

I am studying Chinese and writing; do ALL Chinese words; ie., ai or ang all have five different meanings depending on the stroke 1,2,3,4, (5) over them. I have of a listing of about 400 words; (Dolch words in Chinese ;) but if each has 5 tone marks HELP It gets harder and harder to learn Chinese. Does anyone have some good ways to learn Chinese?

It is more like I want to say that I don't have a living room for my (non existent) sofa to be in. (Before I wrote about having a sofa and big white cat that slept on it. But, I don't have the sofa. I don't have a cat.). I don’t know whether the Chinese grammar in this sentence is right or not. I need someone who is really good at Chinese grammar to answer my question.

Would Chinese learning benefit my future if I want to do business internationally, or would Spanish be the better route? I am 19 years old in college, but like to think ahead. Any Ideas? And how hard is it to learn Chinese from scratch?

any proverbs about family for a Christmas card for grandparents.

每天我七点半起床。我一边洗澡一边唱歌以后上课我学中文。中午吃午饭在我的宿舍然后我…

Can I say: 我今天在外看书。? I today outside read a book.

I'm actually looking for the title of Joseph Heller's novel "Catch 22" and haven't had any luck. I'd like to get a hold of this book. I'm thinking it's something along the lines of “诡计二十二” (gui-3 ji-4). (Catch in this case is not as in "to catch a ball", but rather, when something seems to good to be true or too easy, often there is a "catch". This catch is an unseen detail that makes the situation much less appealing than it initially seemed. For example: someone offers to sell you his new Mercedes for $500....that sounds too good to be true....what's the catch? The catch is that it's down at the bottom of this lake....just give me the money and it's yours!!)
