My name is Reisha. It's not exactly a common name. Thank you.

I was listening to Chinese language podcasts on iTunes and I noticed that the words sound similar to the Taiwanese dramas like "Devil Beside You" and "Why Why Love" Are the languages really Mandarin Chinese or are they different but sound similar?

Mandarin:You cant catch me.Lets jumprope.Throw the ball to me.Catch it.Catch the ball.Girls line up.Form one line.Lets give him/her applause.I fell and hurt my knee.I dont want to play.I want to ride.Its my turn.Recess is over.Its time for lunch.

I've heard both. Does one situation call for one over the other, or might it be a Taiwanese VS. mainland China difference?

earlier, it was easy to learn mandarin but after some time it gets harder. especially when i need to make sentence. it is the other way round with English. so, any suggestion on how can i learn mandarin in a bit faster? i just couldn't catch up with my teacher.

1. How many hours a week do you watch television? 2. Do you watch Chinese programs on SBS? 3. Do you watch other language programs apart from Chinese language programs? 4. Do you understand Chinese language movies? 5. What programs are on SBS tonight?

1. I don’t know how to play tennis. 2. I don’t know any Chinese song. 3. I can’t sing a Chinese song. 4. I can’t eat in class. 5. I can cook.

1. There is a coffee shop on the left 2. It’s a bother to ride a bike to University everyday. 3. I would love to go travelling to the countryside in Taiwan. 4. The air pollution in Taiwan is really bad. 5. I hope I can find a better job after I graduate.

I'm in college majoring in philosophy and want a language since I know it will stimulate new ways of thinking and new perspectives. I seek wisdom. I think an Asian language will be great for this and I have zeroed in on just these two languages of all the other Asian languages. Note: I'm not interested in career prospects, just the language that will stimulate my mind and help me develop new ways of thinking.

I know it is Mandarin. My friend sent me it just for me to try to find out. can you help me? thank you so much!

I hope to find sb to help me improve my English.And as an exchange, I will also teach you chinese. my e-mail is hannah19881129@sina.com,welcome to contact with me.

They have no chinese language background

dan shi, wo shi bu zu gao hao im pretty sure it is mandarin Chinese

normally i'm pretty good with crossovers from language to language. but i always mess up when it comes to names from asian countries. i know this person, their facebook profile has the english name (chinese name) setup on their profile.. it looks like Xiaowei Dong (董晓玮). of course in english we know it as Xiaowei Dong but translation from chinese goes to Dong Xiaowei. i'm embarassed to ask this but is the person's first name Xiaowei or is the first name Dong when speaking in english? and i am a friend that is permitted to use first name basis. also my chinese is very rough but does 董晓玮 mean something like "Small Throne of the East"?
