I need the phrases "ni de di yi ge chong wu jiao shenme?" "ni shi na li ren?" and "dan shi?" translated, a chinese speaking person hacked my WoW account and I'm talking to them. Or rather, attempting to. xD

i'm still confused over which one i should be learning obviously, traditional is harder. which is why i think if i know it, then its easier to then recognize simplified, right?

For example, my chinese book says "Do your mother and father both work" = "Ni mama he ni baba dou gongzuo ma?" BUT "Is that your older brother" you say "Na shi ni de gege ma" -- why only use "de" in the second instance?

Where can I learn mandarin Chinese? Any websites or books for Chinese learning?

The word "xi" in chinese means west the word "xie" in chinese means thanks do you pronounce them the same? Xie = She

I'm just a beginner Mandarin language learner and I find Chinese so beautiful! What do you think?

For someone who grew up to the English language. I'm 18 years old, and wondering, for how long it will take at my age to learn Chinese (including common quotations and sayings).

The pinyin is cun (first tone), and the sentence is: 红色的嘴CUN总是好时髦的。 My teacher wrote the character out for me, but I can't read her handwriting and the characters my computer offers won't match what she wrote. It looks like there's a a roof radical, a mouth radical at the bottom, and something else between the roof and mouth.

I want to learn chinese as my major. only problem is, my school doesn't offer chinese so i have no experience. If i go into college for chinese, will they start me off from square one?

I.e. a proper course or any materials; I am a beginner. Look for a low cost but excellent Chinese language programme that can take me up to a good level of Chinese language. Perhaps with options to progress further. Thank you very much!

I want to learn Chinese but I can't take it in school. So, I need a textbook and was wondering what are some good beginner Chinese learning textbooks. I'm 13 so preferably one that is at a middle school level and isn't expensive.

I've heard that Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn. Despite that, I want to learn it. I have no idea where to start, and how to start. Do you have any recommendations on books about learning Chinese? Software? CDs? Anything? Where should I start, I suppose, is the fundamental question.

Do you know a good program to learn Mandarin Chinese?, i am a beginner, so i know anything about chinese. I've heard of Rosetta Stone, and one that begins with P..., i don't remember the name. I tried Eurotalk, but the software was crappy, really it looks like made by a 4 year old. I am looking for an interactive one, that can help me learn writing, speaking and listening. I also want one that looks Professional or so. If you know really really good webpages, i grant you best answer! Thanks!

I know that in Chinese verbs are not conjugated, so I just need the verb. List as many as you know and their English translation.

I love animations and action movies that are based in china and have Chinese culture. Also all books.

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?

I plan to travel to China during China's National Day holiday. I have no knowledge of Chinese whatsoever and I want to learn travel Chinese. Any suggestions?

I'm having trouble understanding this short Chinese sentence. I'm sure it says something about suffering or sad people. I would appreciate it if someone who speaks Chinese could translate this for me completely, since online translators are often wrong. Thanks for the help :) 痛苦让人深思

Hi there, can someone help me read this? I don't quite understand. Please no software translations please, Thanks 小林先生，我不需要和你生气 I don't understand what the person is trying to say

this is for my own personal education im curious as to how close i am to translating this correctly anyone out there who has the time to translate this it is much appreciated. Alright here it is: I went to Seattle for my holiday because I have family and friends that live there as well as a house. I lived in Seattle before I moved to Bei Jing this is why I frequently visit. I stayed in Seattle for three weeks at my old house. During this time I saw many old friends, snowboarded and family members from australia came and visited. My grandmother and grandfather on my mother side came from sydney to share christmas with us. An aunt and uncle also stayed for a few weeks in our house with us. My eldest sister came with her boyfriend on christmas. Both of them already live America. There are mountains to snowboard on within 30 minutes of my house. My favorite part of my holiday was seeing my old friends. Many of them can drive which made it easy to see a lot of them. Christmas and New Years were also fun with my family.
