So since I am Chinese and so are my parents, I want to take mandarin Chinese. I am 14 so this is embarrassing. But I do know 3 other languages, fuzhou dialect from birth, English from school and stuff, and Spanish for 2 years. Mandarin vocab is easy but what I can’t seem to get is recognizing the tones and remembering tones for words. This is the hardest part for me aside from the characters and some English words have more than 1 Chinese counterpart for definition. So how can I recognize tones and remember tones easier for words! xie4 xie ni2

How do you say "This movie is set in a temple." in Mandarin, Chinese? + also how do you use 人人皆知 in a sentence? I know what it means but I don't know how to put it in a sentence. Thanks.

I've been studying Mandarin Chinese at my school for three years now, and I would like to start doing some independent reading as well. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me of some books (preferably for teens, meaning fiction or other types that teens might find interesting) written in mandarin. Thank you!

"你好我的名字是 jason :)"

Could someone please comment how you say "Live free, die hard" in Chinese characters/symbols? ^_^ thank you

+ Tomorrow is my mother's birthday + When is your father's birthday? + Wish you a Happy Birthday! (I think its just: Happy Birthday) Thanks heaps! PS. Don't use google translator because we all know they're dodgy.

I wish she didn't make an account. This is my private place and now I feel invaded. I don't want to delete but knowing that she has one makes me feel like I have to be on guard on what I write. About him.

&can it be simplified to just one symbol??

Happy birthday girl! You are so amazing and so beautiful! In other words, you are perfect! I wish I was in China to party with you! Please no translators. Those are inaccurate. Chinese speakers please...

How long would it take me to learn Chinese proficiently (so that I am able speak and write correctly)? Thanks!

What do these Mandarin Chinese phrases say in English? I would like a good Mandarin speaker or someone fluent in it to answer, please. Thank you. "不管你是多么远，我可以永远爱你." "你比月亮更美丽" "我对你的爱是喜欢你可爱;永远。" Also, how do you say "Forever" in Mandarin Chinese characters? Thank you~

I know strength is 力. But what are the symbols for courage and passion? Is there a single symbol for each word?

Thanks in advance Like the Chinese Writing Master 4.0 in http://www.cchar.com, but freeware. Do you know any kind of this?

I would like characters? Thank you!!!! btw, does 調皮 (tiaopi) also mean naughty? thanks!

I am now interested in learning an Asian language but I’m not sure which one I should learn because I am not familiar with any of them Should I learn Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese? Any suggestions please?

I got the Berlitz Chinese learning program from my cousin just a couple of days ago, and was wondering if any one else has had any experience with this program and how long it took you to hold a decent conversation.

I would like to say to my Chinese woman in China that I cherish her, and that I love her too much to ever want to hurt nor insult her! Please forgive me, I respect and Honor you! How can I speak Chinese for this to her?
