I want to learn Chinese in a reputed institute whose certificate has value when it comes to Professional aspect.

Currently learning mandarin but only verbally, wondering if I should learn to read it at the same time?

Is their usage different?

I want to say this kind of expressions in Chinese - He was THAT sad THAT he started to cry - There were some things WHICH make him feel unhappy - The tool THAT he used was the one WITH WHICH he fixed the computer. - Show me WHAT I am looking for to know WHAT to do As the last point I want to know how to express conclusive ideas in Chinese, I mean this as below: John: I do not know how to say her that somebody stole her car Maria: You have to say it to her (the expression /say it/ would replace -- say her to somebody stole her car --) Jonh: But I do not like to do it(the word / it / would replace -- to say her to somebody stole her car --) Charles: Jonh you have to (the expression /have to/ would replace -- to say her to somebody stole her car --)

P.S. I want to take summer Chinese program this year. Do you plan to offer some summer Chinese programs?

What does it mean and how does one respond to that phrase? Thank u! I have a feeling it has something to do with birthdays.

im an 8th grader, and i have been taking French for 2 years.. And I don't really like it. And Next year we have the option to take Mandarin Chinese, and I was considering to take that. but people have told me it was really hard to learn and idk.. I kinda just wanna try something new and do it. What do you think? :)

Well, I'm a high school student and most likely won't be able to visit China any time soon, so what are other ways I can learn? Are there any websites/programs out there that have native speakers say something? Also, what is the best way to memorize characters? I'm having a hard time remembering how to write them. Should I learn simplified Mandarin and traditional? I want to visit China in the future. Are there any benefits to learning both? From what I understand, Traditional is only used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Thank you :)

I recently took an interest in learning Chinese, but I don't have any resources. Back when I was learning Japanese, it was made pretty easy and structured. I found many step by step guides on what it is that I should do. 1. Learn the HIragana 2. Learn the Katakana 3. Learn the Kanji 4. Learn Sentence Structure Also, there was a very nice website with the Kanji categorized by grade level making it easy. http://japanese.about.com/library/blkodarchives.htm Is there anything like this link above for learning Chinese? Preferably Mandarin.

I've always wondered- does Chinese have any roots like how Spanish has Latin roots? Where did Chinese come from?

I know in daily Chinese if I wanted to say January 1st, 2009 I would say 二零零九年一月一日. However, if I wanted to say Monday, January 1st, 2009, would I say 二零零九年一月一日星期一 or 二零零九年一月星期一一日？

My girl is Chinese and she wants me to find out what this means. Its a game we play since i speak to her is Spanish she speaks to me in Mandarin Chinese. It doesn't hurt to cheat just a little.. Please.. I got no idea what this means.
