Hello. I'm a 15 year old sophomore in the US, and I plan to learn Chinese in college, Specifically, Mandarin language. I'd like to begin to learn Chinese stroke patterns and how to properly write Chinese characters, even if I don't know their meaning. I feel that by doing this, it won't be such a difficult task as it would be if I were learning from scratch in college. Could anyone recommend me some good media? Money is not a factor. Thanks.

My (Canadian) mother is currently living in China and is trying to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese. She is taking Chinese classes to learn it and is finding it difficult. Do you have any tips I could give her to learn Chinese more quickly and easily? She has been feeling discouraged at times. Thanks in advance.

Or are there any more popular languages spoken in most countries? Just curious to know, and would appreciate your sincere opinions! :-))

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

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!
