Title says it all, I am just wondering because I am gonna try and learn it.

I want to learn Chinese language, want to see the Great Wall!!!

What kinds of kids Chinese TV program or helpful free websites are available for kids to practice Chinese outside of class?

P.S. I want to take summer Chinese program this year. Do you plan to offer some summer Chinese programs?

What does it mean and how does one respond to that phrase? Thank u! I have a feeling it has something to do with birthdays.

I think it would make a good tattoo.

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking all day about the Chinese alphabet and sadly I didn't find it. I’m learning Chinese and I need the Chinese alphabet. I heard that they don't have any alphabet....is it true??? Please help!!!!!!

im an 8th grader, and i have been taking French for 2 years.. And I don't really like it. And Next year we have the option to take Mandarin Chinese, and I was considering to take that. but people have told me it was really hard to learn and idk.. I kinda just wanna try something new and do it. What do you think? :)

Well, I'm a high school student and most likely won't be able to visit China any time soon, so what are other ways I can learn? Are there any websites/programs out there that have native speakers say something? Also, what is the best way to memorize characters? I'm having a hard time remembering how to write them. Should I learn simplified Mandarin and traditional? I want to visit China in the future. Are there any benefits to learning both? From what I understand, Traditional is only used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Thank you :)

I've done research but I can't find the answers to a few questions. How old exactly is mandarin Chinese ? Was it derived from Cantonese? Was it created specifically by the officials in Beijing as an artificial language or did it evolve naturally from an older Beijing dialect? Did old Mandarin chinese have more than 4 tones? Any insight you can provide me will be greatly appreciated

I need a program that can take the ping yin and translate them into Chinese characters (preferably for free)

I would like to recommend my parents Chinese news sites...but im not sure what to recommend. They only go on singtao.com, but is the site of a popular newspaper here in San Francisco. Anything else worth while?

I am a beginning Mandarin Chinese learner and am wondering about beginner Chinese conversation. Is it appropriate to begin a Chinese conversation with both Ni hao and Ni hao ma, or is it redundant. Chinese conversation example: A: Ni hao. Ni hao ma? B: Hen hao. Xiexie. Ni na?.... Thank you! (And I do know that I am missing the tones for the pinyin, I'm simply cutting them out for simplicity).

I recently took an interest in learning Chinese, but I don't have any resources. Back when I was learning Japanese, it was made pretty easy and structured. I found many step by step guides on what it is that I should do. 1. Learn the HIragana 2. Learn the Katakana 3. Learn the Kanji 4. Learn Sentence Structure Also, there was a very nice website with the Kanji categorized by grade level making it easy. http://japanese.about.com/library/blkodarchives.htm Is there anything like this link above for learning Chinese? Preferably Mandarin.

I've always wondered- does Chinese have any roots like how Spanish has Latin roots? Where did Chinese come from?

I can speak Chinese alright, but my mom wants me to take classes to learn how to read and write. I really hate to do that crap. I am also learning Spanish in school and I think Spanish is more important in America than Chinese because many more people can speak Spanish. I will never in this lifetime do both. What do you guys think?

Translated in English please. and what does "leng de budeliao" mean too. Translated in English please.
