I'm 16, and I really want to take Chinese. I don't have it at my school, but I was thinking of taking it outside of school. How much are Chinese classes usually, and is it really hard to learn?

I plan to learn at least nine languages in my hopefully long lifetime. Would it be reasonable to devote 10 years into studying each language? Since I really don't think I could I spend just a few years on each and hope to become extremely fluent. Well here is my list on what I plan to learn Arabic French German Greek Hebrew Japanese Korean Latin Mandarin Chinese

I want a tattoo of one of these, but i can’t find any of them.

I've been learning Chinese, and I have learned two different words, that I believe mean roughly the same thing. In what situations do you use 可以? And what times do you use 能? Or are they interchangeable?

In American English, children like to speak to one another in a special language called "Pig Latin" that so that adults would not know what they are saying. You simply take ordinary English words, move the first consonant cluster to the back, and add "ay". If there is no consonant, just add "way" or "hay". For example, "Look at that person drinking beer" in Pig Latin is "Ook-lay at-way at-thay erson-pay inking-dray eer-bay". Is there a popular obfuscation system for Chinese?

Our newly adopted 6yo Chinese daughter uses this phrase.

Someone please tell me, or give me a link of how it looks. Please & Thank you

My Chinese friend keeps saying something that sounds like "Ni juo sa ma" I know it's probably a question, but can a fluent Mandarin speaker or someone fair in Mandarin tell me what the phrase actually is and what it means in English? Thank you~!

1. I studied Chinese for two years in High School. 2. My parents go to China every year. 3. I am going to Sydney tomorrow because a friend has died. 4. What line of business are your parents in? 5. I enjoy playing the piano but I have not time to practice. 6. My job keeps me very busy and I don't have time to study Chinese. 7. I went to Malaysia when I was nine years old. 8. I have no time to find a partner. 9. My father returned to England when he was 60 years old. 10. Are Chinese characters difficult to remember?

I'm thirteen, and money doesn't come my way too often. I've been saving for a while, because I want to learn a new language. Chinese, to be exact. I know it's one of the most difficult languages to learn, but I figure it'll be a good investment for the future. What program should I use? I don't want to blow $400 on a program that doesn't work.

Telling someone who is mad to calm down/relax/chill out. 冷靜下來 Is that right?

留下我獨自 what is the English translation? Please do not use online translators, they are useless lol.

I was wondering if you could tell me what the Chinese translation for "He's a cute little fatty" and just "cute little fatty" are.
