I have taken both languages in high school, but now, I can only pick one to take in college. So, in your personal opinion, which should I drop and which should I continue taking? Which would be more useful? People have told me that French is a dying language, but still, I'd like to hear more opinions on this. It would be great if you could explain your answer, but you don't have to...

So I've been getting frustrated about how to use le. I realize it's use to suggest the completion of an action and is not an indicator of past tense necessarily. I am using a book I bought out here in China and the English is not great at times and doesn't seem to even attempt to explain the difference between using verb + le and sentence + le.
What's the difference between 他去了北京 and 他去北京了。 Or 我买了两件衣服 and 我买毛衣了 (I know one is clothes and one is sweater).
Please keep things simple. I'm no linguistics expert sadly.
谢谢

In my school, we have the choice of Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and French. Which one should I take, based on usefulness, and how hard it is to learn. We can take up to four years of any.

This is like a speaking competition. I need to memorize the essay/story. Also, it has to be in Mandarin Chinese. The competition is around 1/20/10. By then i need to memorize it. The story can be about anything. It can be an essay, story, anything. I'm looking for something that takes about a minute or two to read. Nothing longer. Please respond soon. If you wrote a story and you wouldn't mind me using it then thats fine. Or if you know a good website that has essays listed that i can use, that would be fine too. Remember, this has to be in Mandarin Chinese and im not looking for something i have to translate. Thanks!!!!!! (: (: (:

This is important that it is correct, please write in Chinese characters. I need to know how to say (it doesn't need to be a word for word translation) these two phrases:
1. Please ship to this address
2. Please give me the tracking number for the package
Help, it is important! Thanks!
I don't need the pronunciations just the written words.
I said this was important, thanks for using my question as an opportunity to slur Chinese people who speak English. Besides, those are Japanese characters.

Okay to keep a long story short I had learned Chinese for 7 years from a Taiwanese teacher. He taught me Mandarin and used traditional characters. Then my parents didn't have any money for more lessons because I had to go to college and well it's expensive.
Anyway, I've been self learning mainly from the internet and it was very difficult with almost everything in simplified so I stuck with traditional ones first but there wasn't much material. I soon found a lot of Chinese dramas and movies to watch, and even the Taiwanese ones had subs in simplified Chinese. I can't understand everything just by listening, especially with so many words with the same pronunciation and the audio quality isn't the best. Oh and Hong Kong ones normally had traditional subs but the audio was in Cantonese - which I never learned - so those only helped me read Chinese but didn't help at all with my listening. Well it's been 5 years since and I'm still having trouble with the simplified and haven't yet fully got a hang of it yet. Besides I read simplified slower than I would read traditional.
Is there anything that I can do so I can read simplified at ease just like traditional? I don't get why it's so hard.

My parents were born in Taiwan, and so, I am Taiwanese. Whenever someone asks me what I am, I say Taiwanese. However, this Chinese person said to me.. you mean Chinese? She said it's the same thing so don't say Taiwanese, just say Chinese. I am not very informed on my background at all and am not sure if she is correct or not. So, my question is, are the two backgrounds the same or different? Thanks!
