Learning chinese was one of the hardest things i've ever learned....My mother taught me by talking to me only. i took bilingual classes but it didnt really help. I still cant read chinese...=\ my best advice for learnin to speak it... talk to people who speak it
damn, dude, go buy ur self a cd at bestbuy or some, it really not hard to learn especially the cd really helpful
I think the best way to learn it is to watch chinese dramas on tvb and such tv stations... they normally have subtitles so u can read it though and ask some of your chinese-speaking friends to help u out.
ye best way to learn how to understand it and to speak it is by watching tvb dramas or anything which has ppl speaking chinese. this usually is the quickest way to learn bcos even though u may not understand it u can slowly understand it by their actions. also, chinese movies which have english subtitles can help. also, going to a chinese school will help but usually then tend to teach it by speaking that language. lol.
haha....u r lucky...coz i brush through new york times the other day and i saw this...http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/business/17novel.html?_r=1&em&&st=cse&sq=learn+language+website&scp=1&oref=slogin and it lead to this....http://www.livemocha.com/. Hope it helps!
The best way to learn cantonese is watching tvb series , after watching a lot of tvb drama you will naturally speak cantonese
go to hong kong for a few years lol. missdiorcherie ive been watching china drama in mandarin and ive only learnt i dont understand
i watched alot of tvb series or hongkong movie, but im still weak in canto. I always sensed a kind of weirdness or inferiority when speaking canto in public
