Hey guys. Now that I have some more time again I am proposing to learn a new language. My native language is German(I live in Germany) and my second language is English which I can speak on a pretty decent level. The third language I learned is Latin (4years). I don't really know which language would be worthwhile to learn. I was flirting with Italian and Mandarin Chinese. Italian should not be too hard to learn because of my German and Latin knowledge. Mandarin is just a very interesting language especially now, that China is emerging so much. I would be open to other languages as well. Do you guys have any idea for me which language to learn and where to start? Thanks!

I need the phrases "ni de di yi ge chong wu jiao shenme?" "ni shi na li ren?" and "dan shi?" translated, a Chinese speaking person hacked my WoW account and I'm talking to them.

What is the subject matter contained in the earliest known Chinese writing? What kinds of topics, ideas, stories, or records are contained in these earliest of writings?

Is there anyone who will tutor me Mandarin lessons via email and instant messenger? I am trying to learn Mandarin Chinese, and I think I need to take Mandarin lessons. Is there anyone who can provide Mandarin courses online? Thanks

My (Canadian) mother is currently living in China and is trying to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese. She is taking Chinese classes to learn it and is finding it difficult. Do you have any tips I could give her to learn Chinese more quickly and easily? She has been feeling discouraged at times. Thanks in advance.

In Chinese pinyin, if I get the Chinese tones wrong, will I still be understood?

Right now I’m attempting to learn Spanish, but my mom keeps telling me that later the language to learn will be Mandarin Chinese...I see her point and why she would think that but I would like more opinions. What do you think would be the language worth learning? I'm still going to keep on learning Spanish but after that I want to try to learn another that's why Id like to figure out what language I should learn next though I know its my choice I want some ideas first....Oh and another thing what might be some of the best ways to approach learning a different language?

I'm having trouble finding stuff about Chinese culture Yuan Xiao Jie for an assignment for my Chinese lessons. If anybody could give me some information about it (preferrably in simple Mandarin Chinese) that would be awesome!

Hello. I'm a 15 year old sophomore in the US, and I plan to learn Chinese in college, Specifically, Mandarin language. I'd like to begin to learn Chinese stroke patterns and how to properly write Chinese characters, even if I don't know their meaning. I feel that by doing this, it won't be such a difficult task as it would be if I were learning from scratch in college. Could anyone recommend me some good media? Money is not a factor. Thanks.

I've read several questions and answers about Chinese v. Russian, but I'm still unsure. I'd like to learn Russian in particular because I love to read, and some of my favorite books were originally Russian. But I also know that Chinese is the bigger business language, and if you're going to do that, Mandarin is the way to go. Trying to exclude China's advantage in that area, which is the better choice?

i want to fool my friend into thinking that i speak fluently hehe how can i say this paragraph in mandarin? (you don't have to include pinyin, i can read the hanzi ^^) "I think the best way to learn a language is to speak it with other people, rather than learning it with books. But it's kind of hard to learn here because there are a lot of Cantonese speakers. Every time I go to a Chinese restaurant, I just hear Cantonese... I don't understand them. I was actually going to try and learn Canto, but there weren't enough resources online..." Please translate that like you are having a conversation with someone lol thanks in advance

I plan to take HSK in the future but now my level is too low to take a HSK exam. What can I do?

Can anyone answer me in Chinese?

I am aware there is a homework section, but posting it here would probably be better >.< I need to hand in a short essay regarding an analysis of the following poem: 阴阳赋 黑暗西天追斜阳， 残阳落日泛金黄。 昼夜阴阳终轮回， 明朝东方又怎样。 --韦西龙和王禹奇 But I don't understand any Chinese. Would someone be kind enough to give a basic understanding of what's the poem about? Thank you very much.

Hi, I feel attracted to Chinese language, but I really need to know whether Chinese language has become a popular one in the world today?? Besides, which is more popular, Chinese language or Japanese?

The first tense is: " I want to introduce my finger into your mother’s eye ". And the second tense is: " I want to take my finger out of your mother’s eye ". I have special interest in knowing how I can say "introduce (something) into" and "take (something) out" in Chinese. I would like to have the answer of one person who really knows mandarin Chinese, with its transcription into Pinyin, and not a simple translation of some authomatic on-line translator. Finally, you must to know English isn’t my native language, so hope you overlock my possibles mistakes of ortography and answer directly to my asking, please.

I remember hearing one of them is more commonly used in a certain area, but the details are a bit fuzzy.
