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?

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?

Where can I learn mandarin Chinese? Any websites or books for Chinese learning?

For someone who grew up to the English language. I'm 18 years old, and wondering, for how long it will take at my age to learn Chinese (including common quotations and sayings).

I.e. a proper course or any materials; I am a beginner. Look for a low cost but excellent Chinese language programme that can take me up to a good level of Chinese language. Perhaps with options to progress further. Thank you very much!

How come in Pimsleur the phrase "keyi" or "can" gets rid of the "yi" when asking the question "Ni ke bu keyi gei wo yidiar qian?"-- is this unique to the verb "can" or is it optional to remove the "yi"?
