I have taken both languages in high school, but now, I can only pick one to take in college. So, in your personal opinion, which should I drop and which should I continue taking? Which would be more useful? People have told me that French is a dying language, but still, I'd like to hear more opinions on this. It would be great if you could explain your answer, but you don't have to...

I'm mainly interested in French, Spanish, Chinese, and maybe Japanese. PLEASE don't give me links to download something or watch videos. My bandwidth on my internet is ridiculous, and can hardly go to text-based sites without going over. I'm mostly looking into Rosetta Stone, and they look very good, but cheaper is obviously better. ^^; Unless, of course, you could link me to a reliable site that sells them a bit cheaper would be great. Anything helps!

I put the 3 after "shi" to indicate that the sound is said in the third tine (down then up) im talking about the same word with the same exact tone meaning different things

My Chinese teacher wants me to email her in Chinese (pin yin) and find an app for word or another thing that i can write in Chinese with. FREE???

Chinese pinyin is the chinese for beginners to get used to the tones and vocals etc then I can learn either mandarin simplified or traditional. does anyone know the colors in Chinese pinyin or where I can find them? Please write the translation of them (etc. in english and pinyin) or the URL to find them. I have searched in google bing and all but nothing comes up, or nothing useful anyway - because its not in pinyin!

Just wondering. I want to take the AP Chinese Test.

So I've been getting frustrated about how to use le. I realize it's use to suggest the completion of an action and is not an indicator of past tense necessarily. I am using a book I bought out here in China and the English is not great at times and doesn't seem to even attempt to explain the difference between using verb + le and sentence + le. What's the difference between 他去了北京　ａｎｄ　他去北京了。　Ｏｒ　我买了两件衣服　ａｎｄ　我买毛衣了 (I know one is clothes and one is sweater). Please keep things simple. I'm no linguistics expert sadly. 谢谢

In my school, we have the choice of Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and French. Which one should I take, based on usefulness, and how hard it is to learn. We can take up to four years of any.
