I was just wondering about how to learn Chinese by good ways, such as memorizing, and writing the symbols (forgot what they are called) also could you give me a short list (or however long you want) of Mandarin Chinese colors, ms., Mr. Mrs., hi, bye, why, I, you, we, etc. If you were American and Mandarin Chinese was your second language do you know how to learn Chinese effectively?

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

So for “how are you”? Which is better to use: 最近好吗? or 你好吗？ I would use “zuì jìn hǎo mɑ”but I am not sure. Could you help? Thanks! Well I don’t really know how 'how are you' is used in Chinese speaking language, I mean, in English people just ask it but don’t really expect some long answer, so it’s just like kind of part of the greeting I guess.

Because, I am Hungarian and if we ask “how are you” then we really expect a longer answer... is this the same in Chinese speaking language?
