Starting with Shang Dynasty. I am interested in Chinese culture and I want to know the orders of the Chinese dynasty. My daughter is 9 and I hope she can learn some kids Chinese. So I want to know some good kids Chinese websites for her.

Seems like a useful phrase to know in China. Can someone tell me the characters as well as the pinyin with tones?

I've always liked both Chinese and Japanese languages. As it is, I watch a ton of anime on a regular basis, but I'm currently learning Chinese in college. I'm wondering what kind of media there is out there that is in Chinese which I could use as a learning aid. Something that would appeal to male youth, not necessarily soap operas with bad acting or children's cartoons. What's out there?

其實...我在國外因為我父母出國工作.為了有個好生意 what i'm trying to say is that i'm out of the country because in order to get/have a good business, my parents work abroad. or i'm out of the country because my parents work abroad in order to get/have a good business.

Hey, I decided I might start learning Chinese the thing is that, some things don’t make sense to me. First of all, is pinyin ONLY written with English letters? So there are no symbols or marks or anything for pinyin, except that it’s written in Latin letters? Also, I read that simplified Chinese are more used than traditional Chinese. So, if I go to China, or any Chinese speaking country, or if I watch a movie about China, everything that's written in stores, streets, schools, books, EVERYTHING, is in simplified Chinese? Also, how does u read Chinese? Any website that could help me? Do u just learn chinese by MEMORIZING what each symbol is? and what about writing? it seems to me like it would take me like 5 hours to only draw ONE symbol and if i see a random symbol, how do i know how to pronounce it? and how do i know what it means? Any online Chinese dictionaries?

Is it different?

I have decided to study Mandarin Chinese, but where I currently live there are no Chinese native speakers. Should I look for a teacher, or try to study Chinese using audio tapes and DVD's? I'm leaning towards the audiotapes, because then I can study Chinese in my own time and on my own schedule. On the other hand, I think it will be harder and perhaps take longer. What do you think? Thank you : ) Thanking you :)

This sounds like such an ignorant question and I apologize. But it is something I genuinely don't know the answer to. I am planning to visit Beijing, China and stay there for a couple of months. I wanted to learn some Chinese before I go to make it easier for my travel. The only classes I found available in my city is a Mandarin course. I was wondering if learning mandarin would be helpful when I go to China. Thank you in advance to all the answers. :)

I love learning Chinese online with native Chinese teachers. Where can I find online Chinese teachers?

Does Anike Joshi like Delaney or Delaney Baie?

maybe about 2 short paragraphs-i'm not good at reading do you know where i can find some? or can someone write 1 for me? the simpler and shorter the better so it should be easy it can be about anything to do with mother's day but preferably something to do with the meaning of mother's day/ importance but it can be anything thanks to anyone who can help

Does anybody know the Chinese characters for the Chinese proverb "A bird does not sing because it has an answer? It sings because it has a song?" I want to know the Mandarin Chinese translation for it. Thanks!

I've got my heart set on learning Chinese, Japanese or Korean, and I'm going to start learning one over the summer. From experience, which language is easiest to speak?

Also, which one would you recommend to learn for use in the western world?
