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

My name is Monica Angel (yes, Angel..)

how to write, using pinyin, the simbol @?

What Chinese phrase should I use, if I want to give 红包 for free to every customers in Chinese New Year? I know how to translate what I want, but I want the promotional phrase, very interesting and understandable which used by Chinese people. Please give me the Pin Yin, translation and Chinese characters.

I was just wondering about the basic HSK test 1. I've done a couple of mock tests and they all had piyin above the chinese characters I was wonder if the actual test also had piyin on it. Also a friend of mine said they test you on speaking and writting characters but I have looked on the internet and have found nothing about that. If you could help clear up some of these questions that would be great.

I just need some help with the english translation and the chinese word for these characters: 踢 两个 什么 他的 你的 我的

I am studying Mandarin Chinese and I'm having some confusion with the tones, especially the second tone. I can clearly here the difference in the tones when people demonstrate them, and I can usually say them clearly also. However, I'm becoming confused. I understand that the second tone is supposed to be rising, but my teachers correct me when I say certain words that are supposed to be second tone when I pronounce them that way. One example is 中文 (Zhōngwén). I pronounce it with first tone, then second tone, as I have learned them. But then I am corrected, and told to say it in a way that sounds to me more like first tone then fourth tone. Am I just really off with my pronunciation and listening? Or is there some variation in the way tones are actually pronounced when speaking? Are there any general rules that can help me?

~ I usually read books after watching TV. ~ is it "wo kan dian shi hou kan shu yi ban" , " Wo kan shu hou kan dian shi yi ban" , " Wo yi ban kan shu hou kan dian shi", or " Wo yi ban kan dian shi hou kan shu" ?

What does shi4 mean in Chinese? I am told that there are many meanings... like is, am, are, to be... etc. Exactly what are all the meanings of shi4? Thanks for all your answers! Xxx Additional Details BTW ~ It is the last tone, the short one that goes down.

I’ve learned the Chinese pinyin for “长” is “chánɡ,” for example I can say “长谈 long talk.” But my classmate said the Chinese pinyin is “zhǎng，” I don’t whether he is right.

Or in simple Chinese!!!
