well i think chinese is interesting to learn
coz i learned it too but only 2 months ,, *too bad*
and it's not difficult to remember .. *but d words make me a bit dizzy*
wo jiao camila .. means = my name is camila , right??
nin ji sui = what's ur age?? >> i forgot d spelling
and i think if u want to remember or know d words better
u should watch chinese / taiwan movies .. maybe d drama's can help u know better!!!

chinese is deceptively easy...or seems so to me at least...

however if you want to learn chinese you must learn the characters...there's absolutely no way around it...so...

some simple things:

我叫Dustin (wo jiao Dustin) = my name is dustin
我二十二岁 （wo er shi er sui) = i'm 22
我是<u>美国</u>人. (wo shi <u>mei guo</u> ren) = I am an american
replace the underlined word(s) with the name of the country to say you are from there.
美国 (mei guo) = usa
俄国 (e guo) = russia
乌克兰 (wu ke lan) = ukraine
法国 (fa guo) = france
德国 (de guo) = germany
意大利 (yi da li) = italian
加拿大 (jia na da) = canada

你好 (ni hao) = hello
很高兴认识你 (hen gao xing ren shi ni) = nice to meet you
早上好 (zao shang hao) = good morning
晚上好 (wan shang hao) = good evening
晚安 (wan an) = good night
大家好 (da jia hao) = hello everyone
再见 (zai jian) = bye

and some numbers
零 or 〇 (ling) = 0
一 (yi) = 1
二 (er) = 2
三 (san) = 3
四 (si) = 4
五 (wu) = 5
六 (liu) = 6
七 (qi) = 7
八 (ba) = 8
九 (jiu) = 9
十 (shi) = 10
十一 = 11
二十 = 20
二十一 = 21


so that's a start...if anyone wants me to help them learn some more email me at ChenXiInJinHua@hotmail.com[/list]

Correct me if im wrong but can't people learn Mandarin Chinese just by learning Pin Yin. Learning the characters is not necessary to learn how to speak Mandarin or even write it ... learning the characters are a bonus and a individual choice...

I read so many posts from beginners on different forums with various numbers of exclamation marks about their desire to learn Chinese or Japanese.

After a while those people disappear from forums - either they lose interest or they mastered the languaged and don't any help any more . You need a lot of stamina to learn a language like Chinese. At first, it seems very exotic to be able to read such a complex script. Then, when you find out that in order to achieve a minimum level of proficiency in Chinese, you really need to spend years, then you're not sure and not so keen any more.

No answer, must have mastered Chinese already.

Kate, 你学好中文吗? Nǐ xu

No. Chinsese has something I like to call inflections. It has 4 of them. Also, a given word may have a dozen homophones, yet each of these words has a distinct character.
I'm just picking a random phrase I've heard...
"Da ni ma."

If you have any idea what this means I am impressed, however I'm sure you can decipher...
答你码

Chinese is my mother language, but I still have to admit that I completely have no idea what it means. Would you mind telling me its meaning?

Opps! I forgot to log in.

Probably a bad example, but when I call for my phone card, an operator says that, which i translate as, "enter your number" It's probably a bad translation from english.

If pinyin tone numbers or tone marks are added then that goes some way to helping with pronunciation.

But what about 出口 - (chu1 kou3) and 入口 - (ru4 kou3). Might be better not to mix them up. Mixing these up could also be a problem 男 - (nan2) and 女 (nu3)

Got a bit rusty at this posting thing - forgot to log in above
