i want to fool my friend into thinking that i speak fluently hehe how can i say this paragraph in mandarin? (you don't have to include pinyin, i can read the hanzi ^^) "I think the best way to learn a language is to speak it with other people, rather than learning it with books. But it's kind of hard to learn here because there are a lot of Cantonese speakers. Every time I go to a Chinese restaurant, I just hear Cantonese... I don't understand them. I was actually going to try and learn Canto, but there weren't enough resources online..." Please translate that like you are having a conversation with someone lol thanks in advance

I'm actually looking for the title of Joseph Heller's novel "Catch 22" and haven't had any luck. I'd like to get a hold of this book. I'm thinking it's something along the lines of “诡计二十二” (gui-3 ji-4).

I'm thinking it's something along the lines of “诡计二十二” (gui-3 ji-4). (Catch in this case is not as in "to catch a ball", but rather, when something seems to good to be true or too easy, often there is a "catch". This catch is an unseen detail that makes the situation much less appealing than it initially seemed. For example: someone offers to sell you his new Mercedes for $500....that sounds too good to be true....what's the catch? The catch is that it's down at the bottom of this lake....just give me the money and it's yours!!)

How do I know which is right? Like for example, cheng2, chi2

Hello. I'm half Chinese and half Korean. Raised by my Korean mother, I've only learned Korean. Reuniting with my father, who can speak Chinese, Korean, and English has inspired my to learn my other native language. Recently, my father said that I can move to China for 1 to 2 years, in order to learn, but my question is what school do I go to in order to learn Chinese? Is there an Foreigner school which teaches Chinese for people who speak English? Also, how long do you think it will take to learn Chinese? I'm currently 13 years old. Thank you for reading this, greatly appreciate it.

Thanks In Advance (:

This is a Chinese grammar related question as I am studying the Chinese. What does 就 mean in this context? 本报记者最近就生日礼物的问题作了一项调查。 校长就教学改革计划对学生们进行了解释。 So in these two sentences, what does 就 mean?

BLANK has stylish clothes for all ages. Well, you don't have to translate the blank part, I just want to know the simplified characters and Chinese pinyin for the sentence "has stylish clothes for all ages." Thanks in advance!

婶婶 or 叔母 姨夫 or 姨丈 pls help me again.

I need to know how to say "I'm sorry I took you for granted" in Chinese. Me and my boyfriend, who is Taiwanese, speak Japanese as our only common language, but this is one of those rare things that I just can't express to him. If possible could I please have the answer in Chinese characters? Pinyin would be a nice extra but I can find these out for myself. It needs to be right so please don't use Google translate! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help :)

I saw your post online and it looks very helpful but I would be grateful if you could do me this very small favor - how would your pronounce this - 美丽心灵 I mean I need the Chinese pronunciation for this word.

Ok I know this is sort of a dumb question but I'm just curious what other people think. I sort of want to learn Chinese, but I feel like I will just completely fail at pronouncing the words and sound really dumb. I feel like with an American accent, I'd sound really horrible and somewhat superficial trying to speak Chinese. I'm not viewing this as a reason to consider for whether or not I learn it by the way; I just want to know what people think about it Thanks
