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'm trying to send an email to a friend I met in China, with a few photographs attached in it. How would I say "I've attached photographs of us on the trip" in (Mandarin) Chinese? Having the characters (or at least pinyin) would be helpful, too. Thanks!
also, what classifier is used with 彩虹? Is it just 个?

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

normally i'm pretty good with crossovers from language to language. but i always mess up when it comes to names from asian countries. i know this person, their facebook profile has the english name (chinese name) setup on their profile.. it looks like Xiaowei Dong (董晓玮). of course in english we know it as Xiaowei Dong but translation from chinese goes to Dong Xiaowei. i'm embarassed to ask this but is the person's first name Xiaowei or is the first name Dong when speaking in english? and i am a friend that is permitted to use first name basis.
also my chinese is very rough but does 董晓玮 mean something like "Small Throne of the East"?

How can you tell the difference by listening to it? I'm sure the writing is the same since they're both Chinese dialects so I don't think there should be a difference in writing, unless I'm wrong haha.

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?
