Ok I’m looking to learn a new language, and would like to try to learn Chinese. I am wondering what are some good resources or software/programs that would help me learn Chinese. I have no prior knowledge of any Chinese or any other Asian language for that matter. I was also wondering how long it would take to learn Chinese before I could actually hold a conversation with a native. Thanks.

Websites don’t seem to help me....is their like a specific word you put at the end of a sentence according to Chinese grammar??? Thank you all!

Hello. I would like some help in Chinese translation. “The grass is greener on the other end”. Not direct translation, is there any saying that you know?

1.昨天晚上我去图书馆看书了。 2.昨天晚上我去了图书馆看书。 3.昨天晚上我去图书馆看书。 Can you explain “le” for me? By the way, where can I find free Chinese lessons?

真希望我男友有你這身材。I am learning Chinese conversation now. I saw the sentence in a dialogue, but I don’t know what it means. I also want to know how to learn Chinese conversation well?

I was thinking that if I spend a long time watching videos on Youku I can learn to speak Chinese and understand it without translators?

Recently, I’m started to learn Chinese characters. Can someone translate these sentences into Chinese pinyin? I'm very lost. To maintain proper fitness, I eat healthy food and exercise. I run twice a week. I eat salads, soup, and I drink juice and milk. I eat at other places like McDonalds or Burger King, once a month.

pls.... xie xie ni....

Please tell me the right answer for this question in the Chinese test, Thanks!

When I put the word 兴高采烈 in an online translator I got xīnggāocǎiliè. The remainder of your explanation is quite clear, but the first time you wrote xìnggāocǎiliè not xīnggāocǎiliè. Thanks

Thank you very much

Please explain for me about the difference of 爷爷, 外公 and 公公 Thank you so much in advance.

I'm an English student currently doing a part-time job which uses Mandarin Chinese. I need help in the Chinese interview because my Chinese is poor.
