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

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?

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.

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!

Are the following word orders OK? 1. Shi, Wo yao xianzai chi wufan --> Yes, I'm going to eat lunch now 2. Shi, xianzai, wo yao chi wufan --> Yes, I'm going to eat lunch now

THOSE THAT SPEAK DON'T KNOW, THOSE THAT KNOW DON'T SPEAK. I have been pondering this for quite some time and would like to know your take of this.

For example Ni xiang xianzai gen wo yi qi qu jiudian chi wufan me = Would you like to eat lunch with me now at the hotel? Could it be phrased "Xianzai zai jiudian ni xiang gen wo yi qi chi wufan ma?" And does the "qu juidian" mean "at the hotel" or do you have to say "zai jiudian" ? What's the difference?

How do you say "boat builder "and "stay at home mom or home maker" in Chinese Pinyin?

I'm learning simplified Mandarin Chinese, but I'm not sure if I'd the correct Chinese translation. Do these sound/look correct? Let me introduce, this is my friend Hong Wang. 我来介绍一下， 这是我的朋友王红。 How many roommates do you have? 你有几室友？ I have two roommates. 我有两个室友。 I often speak French with international students. 我常说法文跟留学生。 He often helps us practice Chinese. 他常帮助我们练习中文。 Are these correct?

How do you tell what occupation your parents have in Chinese language? My dad is a ship builder and my mom is a stay at home mom. How would I say this in Chinese?

Is this in Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese? Also, what does it say?? 中国是一个美丽的国家

I'm mainly interested in French, Spanish, Chinese, and maybe Japanese. PLEASE don't give me links to download something or watch videos. My bandwidth on my internet is ridiculous, and can hardly go to text-based sites without going over. I'm mostly looking into Rosetta Stone, and they look very good, but cheaper is obviously better. ^^; Unless, of course, you could link me to a reliable site that sells them a bit cheaper would be great. Anything helps!

I want to go to China and learn about the law.

I am a native English-speaker studying Mandarin Chinese. I am interested in getting feedback from native English-speakers who have successfully become fluent in Mandarin Chinese: 1) From the time you began studying Mandarin Chinese, approximately how long did it take you to actually become fluent in the language? (i.e. able to communicate all of your ideas and interests to a native Mandarin-speaker, and also able to understand 80% of what they say) 2) Approximately how much time did you spend studying Mandarin Chinese each day in order to reach fluency? What type of schooling/classes did you take, if any? 3) Which books, online resources, audio books, ect. Do you recommended to facilitate learning Mandarin Chinese? 4) What did you find to be the most beneficial and helpful things that you did as you progressed toward Mandarin Chinese fluency? 5) How important do you think it is to study simplified/traditional Chinese characters concurrently while learning the spoken language?

I can speak fluent English and Dutch h at the moment. I am going in the army soon for Military and at some point I will have to take a language course. And so I either want to Mandarin Chinese or Japanese which one easier to pick up for a beginner in eastern languages? If you learn one is it easier to learn another one or different ?for example French and Spanish are two different languages but I you are a native English speaker once you learn one the other is slightly easier because you get familiar with female/male words, with these two or completely different? I heard that China is rising to power and would be a good language to learn for upcoming business wise but Japanese seems better for business what are your view points on this? Thank you for your time Note spellchecker just messing up what I wrote forgive me for my spelling

I've heard something along the lines of "Kai-Halla," but I'm not sure. I would like just a basic phonetic pronunciation of 53 in Chinese, please.
