What is the difference between jia ren and jia li in Chinese? Are they interchangeable? I got this question on an online Chinese test.

Recently, I’m started to learn Chinese characters. Can someone translate these sentences into Chinese pinyin? I'm very lost. To maintain proper fitness, I eat healthy food and exercise. I run twice a week. I eat salads, soup, and I drink juice and milk. I eat at other places like McDonalds or Burger King, once a month.

I was thinking that if I spend a long time watching videos on Youku I can learn to speak Chinese and understand it without translators?

咪咪上了车就不高兴 What does this sentence translate to? I know it's about a cat and something to do with riding in a car, the whole shang le and then the jiu thing makes no sense to me. 咪咪上了车就不高兴 . There's the sentence, thank you very much in advance!

真希望我男友有你這身材。I am learning Chinese conversation now. I saw the sentence in a dialogue, but I don’t know what it means. I also want to know how to learn Chinese conversation well?

1.昨天晚上我去图书馆看书了。 2.昨天晚上我去了图书馆看书。 3.昨天晚上我去图书馆看书。 Can you explain “le” for me? By the way, where can I find free Chinese lessons?

I would like to know how to say shut up or be quiet in Chinese. Please type how to pronounce it too. I have learned Chinese by myself for 3 months and made little progress and I am wondering what the best way to learn Chinese is. Thanks!

I am learning Chinese now and I also want to find some material about Chinese conversation. Is there any one can help me? Thanks in advance!

I've been studying Chinese for about two and a half years, and right now my level is still elementary. I can get by with everyday phrases, speak to people in Chinese and understand roughly what they're saying, but it hasn't gotten to the stage yet where I can read a newspaper in Chinese or speak Chinese as fluently as the Chinese do, for example. For someone who was taught English as their first language, roughly how long does it take to speak Chinese fluently?

I recently moved to china. And I need to learn mandarin. Any help here?

In my Chinese learning, I found that hearing the words would get me started.

I've heard that when the leaders of the 1911 Xinhai Revolution (辛亥革命) were deciding on which dialect to use as the new national standard, Mandarin beat Cantonese by only one vote. However, I also been told that this is just a myth, an urban legend. Anyone know either way whether this is true?

I was once acquainted with people from Tianjin and Beijing. I noticed that when they speak Mandarin, the "w" sounds like an English "v". For example, "wen" sounds like "ven", "wang" sounds like "vang". Is this sound variation part of the Beijing or Tianjin dialects of Northern Chinese (北方話)? Where else does this sound change occur?

I will be meeting a lady I have been communicating with through translated emails.Also will be meeting representatives of companies I am buying products from.
