"Bu zou" -- is this correct? How about "bie zoulu" -- why does my book add the "lu" to "zou" (walk?)??? Are both going to be understood as "don't walk"?

I know "wo ai ni" means "i love you", but i'm trying to find a variation of it.

I know there are many variations of Chinese but would watching films help me to learn Mandarin, or cantonese? I realise this question might be a tricky one to answer so a fairly explanatory answer would be welcome.

Hello. I'm half Chinese and half Korean. Raised by my Korean mother, I've only learned Korean. Reuniting with my father, who can speak Chinese, Korean, and English has inspired my to learn my other native language. Recently, my father said that I can move to China for 1 to 2 years, in order to learn, but my question is what school do I go to in order to learn Chinese? Is there an Foreigner school which teaches Chinese for people who speak English? Also, how long do you think it will take to learn Chinese? I'm currently 13 years old. Thank you for reading this, greatly appreciate it.

I want to learn Chinese but I don't know how to learn Chinese. I am looking for advice from others about how to learn Chinese; I do not have a great amount of time to inject to learning it.

I.e. a proper course or any materials; I am a beginner. Look for a low cost but excellent Chinese language programme that can take me up to a good level of Chinese language. Perhaps with options to progress further. Thank you very much!

I want to learn chinese as my major. only problem is, my school doesn't offer chinese so i have no experience. If i go into college for chinese, will they start me off from square one?

The pinyin is cun (first tone), and the sentence is: 红色的嘴CUN总是好时髦的。 My teacher wrote the character out for me, but I can't read her handwriting and the characters my computer offers won't match what she wrote. It looks like there's a a roof radical, a mouth radical at the bottom, and something else between the roof and mouth.

The way I understand it leaves me confused. Wo yao tang = I want soup Wo xiang tang = I would like soup Wo xiang yao tang = I would like want soup <-- This I don't understand. Isn't this redundant? This is mandarin Chinese pinyin, by the way. Additional Details So, in the case of "wo xiang yao tang", the "xiang" has absolutely nothing to do with "would like to"? The "xiang" is put before the "yao" to make "wo yao tang" sound more polite? If so, then what is the actual definition of "xiang" in "xiang yao" or should "xiangyao" just be seen as one word basically meaning "politely want"?

I am currently listening to audio lessons to learn Mandarin, and I will start to go to Chinese school tomorrow. I live in Vancouver and all my friends are Asian, if I talk to them in mandarin everyday and they correct me how long do you think it will take me to learn Mandarin pretty fluently.

１． 把：上星期五我对妈妈说:妈妈，你和我知道因为我们住南方，所以我们常常看雨。在春天和秋天常常下雨。我的男朋友对我说他知道明天下雨。　你想我的男朋友和我可能去电影院吗？妈妈对我说：因为我知道你的中文考试很不好，所以我不要你去电影院。你把中文书看了。 ２． 所有的：在高中，弟弟和我学中文。昨天，李老师对我们说她要我们看所有的中文书。我们不要看所有的中文书，不过我们知道要是我们要学中文，我们就看所有的书。 ３． 忘了：上星期五，李老师对我们说：要是我们要学中文，我们就写我们的中文句子。我喜欢写我的句子，不过作天我忘了写我的句子。在中文课我不得不写我的句子。 ４． 收到：昨天我对李老师说：李老师我忘了写我的句子，不过我要给你我的句子。你想明天见我可能给我的句子吗？李老师对我说：好好。　 （ｎｅｘｔｄａｙ）　李老师对我说：李美，我收到你的句子。 ５． 提：上星期二在李老师的中文课我有问题。我对李老师说：李老师我有一个问题。她对我说：因为你提问，所以我喜欢你。

1. What's the difference between "fangjian" and "wuzi" -- both mean room? Any difference in usage? 2. Difference between qu and zou? "Let's go" is "Women zou ba" can I say "Women qu ba" instead? 3. Difference between to clean "qingli" and to clean "shoushi"???

Is it really as hard to learn Chinese language as people say? How did you learn Chinese language, thru class/immersion/etc? Can you explain the different tones? How long did it take you to become fluent (at least on a basic level)? Is it worth it to learn Chinese language?
