Would Chinese learning benefit my future if I want to do business internationally, or would Spanish be the better route? I am 19 years old in college, but like to think ahead. Any Ideas? And how hard is it to learn Chinese from scratch?

I am 14 and I regret not learning Chinese cause both my parents are Chinese and they can speak it and read and write it fluently. I really want to learn Chinese and I know some basic stuff but I want to know the best way to learn Chinese. Thanks!

so i have started to learn mandarin chinese cause my parents know it and i feel ashamed cause i am 14 and full chinese. so i know all the basics like hello, this that, love, goodbye, how are you, long time no see, all that stuff. but i was wondering why is there so many mandarin words for one word for english equivalent, like for run there is zou and pao, how do i know which to use? can you give me a list of words that have multiple mandarin words for 1 english word like run and hurt? i dont know which to use and it is killing me! thanks!

Starting with Shang Dynasty. I am interested in Chinese culture and I want to know the orders of the Chinese dynasty. My daughter is 9 and I hope she can learn some kids Chinese. So I want to know some good kids Chinese websites for her.

Seems like a useful phrase to know in China. Can someone tell me the characters as well as the pinyin with tones?

I want to know how to say the following in Chinese (preferably Mandarin, but Cantonese is fine, too): "Who am I?" "Who are you?" "I...don't know a thing..." (as if the guy has amnesia) give me like the romaji (or whatever it's called) form and the characters. Please!!

Does Anike Joshi like Delaney or Delaney Baie?

Some chinese questions for the chinese experts :)? Thanks! 1. What is the difference between can(1st tone) and cai (4th tone) 2. Do both of these mean "He has finished eating the diced chicken" -- Ta ba jiding chiwan le AND ta chiwan le jiding Why would anybody ever use the "ba" construction, seems like a massive hassle 3. "I didn't see the movie because there were a lot of people" -- dui ma --> Wo meiou kandao yinwei you hen duo ren le 4. "Too western for him" -- my main question is how to add "for her" or "for him" in this type of phrasing. Is this right --> Ta de tai xifang le

Does any body know what "ni hen ai ni de mama ,dui ba" means?? My chinese teacher commented on one of my pictures and in order to reply to her in pinyin , i need to know what shes saying lol. Thank you oh so very much!

I think it would be great if my children could start to learn some Chinese for kids at an early age. I really want them to get started on it but I'm not sure what Chinese books for kids I should get for them. One is 5 and the other is 7. Thanks in advance!

Hiiiiiii everyone! I've wanted to learn Chinese fluently for a long time now, and this year my school offered Rosetta Stone as a class. So, I started the Mandarin Chinese course. If any of you know what Rosetta Stone is like you know it's not a very effective way to learn Chinese, unless you live with someone who can help you. So I have a few grammar questions. For example: zhe ge nan ren zai chi fan. I think this means: A man eating rice, or maybe The man eats rice? I'm not sure! please verify. Another example: yi ge ping guo. Could this mean: An Apple? I have many problems with this kind of thing in Chinese! /: hmmmm. Well sorry for the length of this question, and the lack of tone marks over the pinyin. Help would be appreciated.
