I'm trying to send an email to a friend I met in China, with a few photographs attached in it. How would I say "I've attached photographs of us on the trip" in (Mandarin) Chinese? Having the characters (or at least pinyin) would be helpful, too. Thanks!
also, what classifier is used with 彩虹? Is it just 个?

Ok I know this is sort of a dumb question but I'm just curious what other people think.
I sort of want to learn Chinese, but I feel like I will just completely fail at pronouncing the words and sound really dumb. I feel like with an American accent, I'd sound really horrible and somewhat superficial trying to speak Chinese.
I'm not viewing this as a reason to consider for whether or not I learn it by the way; I just want to know what people think about it
Thanks

I'm currently trying to learn Chinese (I put the quotes because I don't recognize 'nationality'), and the books and audio I'm learning from give nouns for Chinese translation.
Also, I've picked up on different constructed languages, and I haven't come across any language that doesn't use nouns.
Yet, I heard an Alan Watts presentation the other day that described Chinese as having no nouns ("I can't recall a single instance of a noun in Chinese"). Alan described the idea of nouns, or objectifying, as a purely "Western" thing.
Is this true??
How do "Chinese" go about communicating without nouns?
It's easy for me to see no nouns in some instances, but not for all. Would there be anything like pronouns still used?
Thanks for your help!

I’m worried about making friends and schoolwork because i can’t really speak Chinese.
Also, what is the curriculum like compared to Australia?
i don’t want it to be too hard for me.
Thanks.

I have a big experience with studying Kanji and unlike most of my friends, I REALLY love Kanji! I just love their structure, their logic. Even if I dont know one character, I can easily identify the meaning of a compound word. I find that this is easier for me when attempting to read Chinese.
I really want to learn 'reading' Chinese such as sentence writing. However, I get stumped with particles or expressive abstract characters. But once I understand it, it makes a whole lot of sense! What makes it easier is that sometimes I dont have to know the Chinese (Mandarin) pronunciation just to read the character (sometimes unless it's a name, a city, place, etc).
So, how can I learn reading in Chinese for efficiently? How do I recognize sentence structures, characters used for particles, or those expressive characters?
Thanks!

Hello.
I am writing a Mandarin composition. I am almost done, but I am not sure about a couple of things.
How do I say the following in Mandarin (preferably pinyin)?:
I go to school at Riddley College
- I’d like to attend Cambridge University in the UK, because that is the university that my mother attended.
- I plan to go to Australia this summer to ski.
Thank You!

well, in two weeks I have a Chinese (Mandarin) exam/ essay and I have to handwrite 200-300 characters/words with only a Chinese dictionary in one 70 minute lesson.... my problem is I can recognize the characters, and recognize the pronunciation.... i just can't remember how to actually write them...
so how long would it take to memorize how to write 250 characters? and how can I?
Thanks :)

Which measure word is right, so that it says "a pair of chopsticks"?
If they're both right, can you explain the difference?
I know that one chopstick is (一只), so both of the instances make sense to me, but I'm just making sure.

2) 一双筷子
