I recently started to attempt to teach myself Mandarin Chinese. I found a good website that is really helpful, but I still have a few questions. I am also trying to also learn how to write and read SOME of Chinese. So my questions are: -Can someone explain the whole "Radicals" thing to me? -And is there a way to pronounce a Chinese character, without know how to pronounce it? For example, like I could make up a word in English, and pronounce it without having to study the word.

i mean it is the official language of china but there are so many dialects i don't know where mandarin is spoken. Also is standard mandarin the same one that is spoken in taiwan?

Hello. I'm half Chinese and half Korean. Raised by my Korean mother, I've only learned Korean. Reuniting with my father, who can speak Chinese, Korean, and English has inspired my to learn my other native language. Recently, my father said that I can move to China for 1 to 2 years, in order to learn, but my question is what school do I go to in order to learn Chinese? Is there an Foreigner school which teaches Chinese for people who speak English? Also, how long do you think it will take to learn Chinese? I'm currently 13 years old. Thank you for reading this, greatly appreciate it.

So I don't remember all the tones when I'm pronouncing Chinese. If I don't remember the tone, what tone should I use? What should I do?

"Every day, in every way, you are getting better and better." And also "Every day, in every way, we are getting better and better." I am learning Chinese. I would like someone to translate both of these phrases into Mandarin Chinese with proper Kanji if possible. Thank you!
