我是在澳洲出生的, 来北京己经一年了. 因为我来北京以前不会说中文, 所以在北京刚开始学习的时猴觉得比较难. 我现在在北京大学学习翻译课, 这对我将来的工作一定会很大的帮助. 除了学中文和翻译以外, 我还学习中国历史和经济. 我明年天毕业, 毕业以后我要回澳洲我工作.

I want to learn some survival Chinese so that I can communicate in Chinese when I go to China.

I plan to travel to China during China's National Day holiday. I have no knowledge of Chinese whatsoever and I want to learn travel Chinese. Any suggestions?

So, i'm Chinese-american, but as I was young, i learned a bit of Chinese from my grandma, who I guess either taught me wrong, or had an accent. everyone always complains when I speak Chinese, saying I sound Taiwanese, and or just plain american and that I say everything wrong. so here's my question. How can I learn Chinese pronunciation better? I don't understand the tones for pinyin, they all sound alike for me, can someone give me a quick lesson, or point me in the direction I want to go to learn better pronunciation? I want to be also able to have an accent, so that when I go to Taiwan next year, they won't know i'm from America...

I need help translating this English phrase into Mandarin Chinese. I realize there are a plethora of online translators but not everything transcribes correctly. So I know there are both traditional and simplified ways of doing this. If someone could translate: "Love knows no boundaries" into both traditional and simplified Mandarin Chinese it would be very helpful! Also, if someone could supply the Chinese characters for this quote I would highly appreciate it! Please no jokers giving me a fake translation. Save my time and yours because I'll be double checking it as best I can with an online translator. Thanks!

Tomorrow I'm going to one of my student's birthday parties (I taught three Chinese teenagers how to speak basic English) but their parents don't speak ANY English whatsoever. There MAY be someone who can translate back and forth, but I doubt it. I need help with very basic Chinese. I can say 我的名字是 Gabbie and 你好吗？, thank you and that's about it. All I REALLY need to know is how to say.

123hh

I'm having trouble understanding this short Chinese sentence. I'm sure it says something about suffering or sad people. I would appreciate it if someone who speaks Chinese could translate this for me completely, since online translators are often wrong. Thanks for the help :) 痛苦让人深思

I need the following to be translated into Chinese (Xiang) and I need to know the symbols please: "Women hold up half the sky"

I want to learn Mandarin Chinese, I used Google to learn some simplistic sayings and the different tones.

I am interested in learning this language. Any suggestions on which books/cds to buy which teaches a lot and can somehow spark my interest in the language and culture more?

Everyone tells me the "L" sound is not used in Chinese. But there is a Nickelodeon kid's show called "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan," and they seem to pronounce the L like well, L. xD I don't get it... Maybe it's just a rolled R that sounds like an L...? I would like to ask a person who speaks Chinese language, but I don't know anyone!
