There's this boy on my bus who I really want to be friends with. There's only one problem...he doesn't understand English. So what I need to do is learn Chinese. Help please? Maybe some of you can give me basic phrases like "Good Morning" or "How are you?" "Our next class is over here" That type of stuff. Oh and if there's anything that you know that's related to school please tell me. By this I mean things that you might say to people in school.

I want to learn some survival Chinese so that I can communicate in Chinese when I go to China.

I plan to travel to China during China's National Day holiday. I have no knowledge of Chinese whatsoever and I want to learn travel Chinese. Any suggestions?

So, i'm Chinese-american, but as I was young, i learned a bit of Chinese from my grandma, who I guess either taught me wrong, or had an accent. everyone always complains when I speak Chinese, saying I sound Taiwanese, and or just plain american and that I say everything wrong. so here's my question. How can I learn Chinese pronunciation better? I don't understand the tones for pinyin, they all sound alike for me, can someone give me a quick lesson, or point me in the direction I want to go to learn better pronunciation? I want to be also able to have an accent, so that when I go to Taiwan next year, they won't know i'm from America...

I need help translating this English phrase into Mandarin Chinese. I realize there are a plethora of online translators but not everything transcribes correctly. So I know there are both traditional and simplified ways of doing this. If someone could translate: "Love knows no boundaries" into both traditional and simplified Mandarin Chinese it would be very helpful! Also, if someone could supply the Chinese characters for this quote I would highly appreciate it! Please no jokers giving me a fake translation. Save my time and yours because I'll be double checking it as best I can with an online translator. Thanks!

Tomorrow I'm going to one of my student's birthday parties (I taught three Chinese teenagers how to speak basic English) but their parents don't speak ANY English whatsoever. There MAY be someone who can translate back and forth, but I doubt it. I need help with very basic Chinese. I can say 我的名字是 Gabbie and 你好吗？, thank you and that's about it. All I REALLY need to know is how to say.

Hi there, can someone help me read this? I don't quite understand. Please no software translations please, Thanks 小林先生，我不需要和你生气 I don't understand what the person is trying to say

I need the following to be translated into Chinese (Xiang) and I need to know the symbols please: "Women hold up half the sky"

Everyone tells me the "L" sound is not used in Chinese. But there is a Nickelodeon kid's show called "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan," and they seem to pronounce the L like well, L. xD I don't get it... Maybe it's just a rolled R that sounds like an L...? I would like to ask a person who speaks Chinese language, but I don't know anyone!

this is for my own personal education im curious as to how close i am to translating this correctly anyone out there who has the time to translate this it is much appreciated. Alright here it is: I went to Seattle for my holiday because I have family and friends that live there as well as a house. I lived in Seattle before I moved to Bei Jing this is why I frequently visit. I stayed in Seattle for three weeks at my old house. During this time I saw many old friends, snowboarded and family members from australia came and visited. My grandmother and grandfather on my mother side came from sydney to share christmas with us. An aunt and uncle also stayed for a few weeks in our house with us. My eldest sister came with her boyfriend on christmas. Both of them already live America. There are mountains to snowboard on within 30 minutes of my house. My favorite part of my holiday was seeing my old friends. Many of them can drive which made it easy to see a lot of them. Christmas and New Years were also fun with my family.

How long have you been taking Chinese? And I have taken it for.... years. ~pinyin and characters please.~

I'm an ABC, but Mandarin is my fourth language. My parents are Cantonese, so I know they have an accent too. So if they tried to teach me proper Chinese, it would be like an Italian guy trying to teach an Indian guy how to speak proper English. (I imagine the results won't be spectacular). So is there anyone whose family is from Beijing, or otherwise knows that he or she speaks perfect Mandarin, who would like to help me with my accent on Skype?

How do you say it? Or [are you ok now?] Thanks
