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. Or rather, attempting to. xD

Are there any language websites (I'm currently learning Mandarin Chinese and Spanish) I can use to practice my reading and conversations?

I don’t know anything about Chinese names. I want to know if there is any Chinese name that sounds similar to “Minalga.” So far the best Chinese name I've come up with is Mi-Nao, but I have no idea whether it's actually a real Chinese name. So, is Mi-Nao a real Chinese name? Does anybody have any suggestions for a suitable Chinese name?

hi, I’m looking for Chinese help (again) I want to say "I can only go ice skating on the holidays" I think, it's this sentence: "我唯一放假的时候可以滑冰" "wǒ wéi yī fàng jià de shí hòu kě yǐ huá bīng" I’m worried about, if 唯一 and 可以are in the right spots, or if I have words wrong I hope anyone can help, thanks

For example, my chinese book says "Do your mother and father both work" = "Ni mama he ni baba dou gongzuo ma?" BUT "Is that your older brother" you say "Na shi ni de gege ma" -- why only use "de" in the second instance?

I'm keep reading about the different forms/dialects of Chinese that is spoken in China. I was thinking on taking up Mandarin Chinese, but I'm not sure if I will be able to communicate with people from all over the country, since I love to travel all through out the area. Can someone give me some advice, tips, directions, and help with this problem? Also, could you also give me links to where I can buy Chinese learning material or links to different torrents which can be of some help? If this is of any help, I am also fluent in German, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, and French, next to my native tongue of English. Even though I grew up with German being spoken around me. I would also like to add that I would like to learn to read the language too, since I'm big into World Studies and History.

I can write Chinese character to pin yin by setting the language bar. But my question is, when I type Chinese character by input from pinyin, I want to show both character Chinese AND also the pinyin bellow the character?

I am currently working on a story which has got quite a few Chinese conversations in it. I need someone to translate a few English sentences into Chinese, but not Chinese pinyin (e.g. 'ni hao' and 'xie xie'). if possible, could my sentences be translated in the mainland tongue (I don’t know whether it is mandarin or Cantonese)? The sentences I need the Chinese translation are: "please help me. my head hurts." "give me food. I am hungry." "I don’t like you. Take me home." "I’m scared. take me home." "I hate you. I hate this place. I don’t want to stay here. Please take me back home." any and all help with be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

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

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.

What’s the best book you can suggest for each language? I've read "Japanese: The Easy Way" by Karen Sandness and "Speak E-Z Chinese". If anyone knows these books can you tell me your comments about them?

BTW, please tell me if you learned it before and where you are from.

I'm going in Taiwan for working. um my question is it ok if I learn Chinese language if I go work there. If not, is it ok to communicate them using my English?

I was just wondering about how to learn Chinese by good ways, such as memorizing, and writing the symbols (forgot what they are called) also could you give me a short list (or however long you want) of Mandarin Chinese colors, ms., Mr. Mrs., hi, bye, why, I, you, we, etc. If you were American and Mandarin Chinese was your second language do you know how to learn Chinese effectively?

Or are there any more popular languages spoken in most countries? Just curious to know, and would appreciate your sincere opinions! :-))

I'm just a beginner Mandarin language learner and I find Chinese so beautiful! What do you think?
