The description of questioner: I am majoring in International Business and also in Army ROTC. I want to know which language would be more important considering this criterion

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 these in Chinese pinyin: 1."She is in the bathroom." 2."Are you making the phone call?"

I've been hearing this in a lot of Chinese dramas, movies, music, etc. and I'm not exactly sure what it means or the Chinese pinyin. It sounds to me like "nay ga" but I may just be hearing it wrong.

I am a seventh grade Chinese learner, I think about kindergarten level. Can anyone tell me some words in Chinese pinyin and tell me the tones that they have. They need to start with the letters b, p, m, f, d, t, n, and l (thats an L) I also need to know what they mean. Thanks!

I have been interested in a few languages over the years, but come across the same problem: I don't know where to begin. Anyone have any ideas?

The orginal language of this drama is in Mandarin online but I don't understand it that much so I want to watch it in Cantonese. Please help me to find it out. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Where can I look to learn mandarin Chinese? Any websites or books?

Would Chinese learning benefit my future if I want to do business internationally, or would Spanish be the better route? I am 19 years old in college, but like to think ahead. Any Ideas? And how hard is it to learn Chinese from scratch?

Is it really as hard to learn Chinese language as people say? How did you learn Chinese language, thru class/immersion/etc? Can you explain the different tones? How long did it take you to become fluent (at least on a basic level)? Is it worth it to learn Chinese language?

I NEED CHINES LANGUAGE IN MY WORK ( CHINES TOUR GUIDE IN LUXOR _ EGYPT FOR CHINES TOURESTS WHEN COMING TO VISIT EGYPT.

How do I say shut up and get out of my way in Mandarin Chinese? I really want to know because I get so annoyed in Chinese class. LOL Thanks!!!)

I was just wondering if pinyin is the mandarin Chinese in the English alphabet without the characters. Does it mean the same thing as the Chinese characters? It is easier for English speaker to learn Chinese?

I am 14 and I regret not learning Chinese cause both my parents are Chinese and they can speak it and read and write it fluently. I really want to learn Chinese and I know some basic stuff but I want to know the best way to learn Chinese. Thanks!

so i have started to learn mandarin chinese cause my parents know it and i feel ashamed cause i am 14 and full chinese. so i know all the basics like hello, this that, love, goodbye, how are you, long time no see, all that stuff. but i was wondering why is there so many mandarin words for one word for english equivalent, like for run there is zou and pao, how do i know which to use? can you give me a list of words that have multiple mandarin words for 1 english word like run and hurt? i dont know which to use and it is killing me! thanks!
