I am trying to write an e-mail to some of my Chinese friends back in Seoul, and can only speak Chinese very little. So this is what I have written so far, and can any native Chinese speaker tell me if it makes sense? What I am trying to say should be self-explanatory. 现在我在美国是了。 这星期我在纽约。 我下个月回韩国。 我想念每个人。 希望一切都好。祝你们圣诞快乐！祝你们新年快乐！ And also, can any one translate the following so I can add it to my e-mail? I can't wait to come back to Korea. If my new apartment is ready next month, I will throw a party at my place when we are all in Seoul (Including Ingrid, and before E-Jin goes back to Taiwan). If not, we should all meet for a nice evening at the "Top Cloud Bar/Restaurant" (Which of course is my treat). Well I hope everyone is doing well, and can't wait to see everyone again. Best wishes, and sincerest regards. Sincerely,

I was talking to one of my Chinese friends and he called me Shi Pei, I was wondering what it means exactly and I did not get to ask before he logged off. Can anyone help?

In the Chinese phrase "zai nar" -- "located over there" how do you pronounce the "z" in "zai"?I'm never sure if it's pronounced like the z in "zebra" or if its pronunciation like the "dge" in "judge" -- which is it?

My roommate's older sister is visiting our small New York apartment from China tomorrow. I'm already going to say "很高兴再次见到您" but I also want to say, "Welcome to our humble home!" Can I say, "huan ying ni lai wo men de peng bi (蓬筚; péng bì)"? Any other tips on how to make her feel welcome in our home? This is her first time in America. She is from Beijing.

I'm not interested in the "biggest population", "fast developing country" or any economic reasons. I've been studying Mandarin Chinese in Beijing for 3 months and I find myself asking, "Why do I care? Why do I want to study this language?" If china were a slum with no future today, I want some ideas about why I would still want to study the language.

What is the difference between Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese? I'm a teacher trainer in several schools where we have an intake of both Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese speakers. If I put bilingual signs up do I need to find both?

I'm learning Chinese soon (Mandarin) but for now I’m focusing most of my attention on the Chinese characters. I'll be taking notes and using flash cards, but does anyone have any other tips for memorizing the Chinese characters? I need some good ways to learn Chinese. 谢谢 thank you

Chinese, Japanese, I don't really care about exact dialects or anything, i don't really know much about it, I just wanna see what they look like.

I know it starts with "xiè xiè nǐ "

My house is very big. I have 12 rooms in my house. 5 people live in my house they are: father, mother, older brother, younger sister and myself. My room is not big but it isnt small either. In my room i have a bed, a desk and window. My room isnt colourful. It is empty and a boring. My dog lives in my room. Out side my house is a street, on the other side there is my back yard which is very small. There arnt any trees in my back yard. My car is usually parked in my garage but is also parked outside sometimes. I live in a western style house. Other rooms that my house has are: laundry, 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and 3 toilets. My laundry has a washing machine. This room is very small. My house has 2 refrigerators. And there is a phone in every-room in my house except for bathrooms. translation would be very helpful and into mandarin chinese would be very helpful to me thank you so much also the grammar is in english if you know enough chinese to put it in the correct format that would be awesome

II know that in Chinese grammar there is no verb conjugation and that the sentence structure is similar to English (SVO) but what else is there to know for Chinese grammar? When do you put in helping verbs in Chinese grammar? How do you say "it?"(Would it be ta?) Where do you put in times of day? Is it true that you add the "le" after the verb to make it past tense in Chinese grammar? Additional Details Also to say "is/am" would you use "shi" or "hen" in Chinese grammar.

So here is how it stands. My parents bug me about the fact that good colleges (ivy league good) want 4 years of foreign language. Currently I am a freshman in high school in Spanish 2. Personally Spanish is hard for me and the reason I get good test grades are because my teacher literally shows us the test before it starts. But she didn't do that for finals and the a's and b's students (including me) got d's and f's. The classes my school has are French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese (2 years only), and Spanish. I am not in Spanish honors and I'm not recommended for 3 honors but if I take another language I might be able to get into honors in the first year. So my big question is should I stick with Spanish regular or take another language with a chance for honors?

Thank you!

Only do what you can, I really appreciate it!!! And if you could do it in Chinese characters it would be awesome! 1. It takes two and a half hours to get to Guanzhou from Hong Kong by train. 2. It takes 12 hours to get to Paris from Guanzhou by plane. 3. It took 40 minutes to get there. 4. How long did you work yesterday? 5. What is the date today? 6. What day is today? 7. I was very busy last weekend.

I am studying how to connect two sentences that are relative with a pronoun to make one sentence. I wrote some sample sentences and I wan wondering if anyone can translate them into Mandarin Chinese. Thank you. 1. Bats are the only mammals that can fly. 2. That is the hospital where I was born. 3. Those are the siamese twins that are conjoined at the head 4. That is the car which is designed by Mitsubishi, not Honda. 5. Use the bathroom that's on the second floor, not the third floor. 6. Who is the man that is in the restaurant? 7. Read the license plate that is on the car.
