    I'm probably one of the minority in PA who can read, write, speak Chinese. But where I live, I'm part of the majority. So, there are tons of Chinese out there who are proficient in the language.

    I think it is important to at least know how to read. It is the basic for being Chinese in my opinion. It just suks if someone passes you sth written in Chinese and you can't read it. Not to mention the issue of cultural roots...

    i feel terrible now for not knowing. it wasn't my fault, my parents decided to move to a little town (filled with nothing but white people, where my fam was the only minority pretty much) when i just started going to chinese school. but i would like to learn it someday. when school doesn't take up all 24 hours of my life

    ^ yea.. I guess its difficult when its not your priority. We all understand the stresses of school. haha.. and it requires much more effort to learn if you never get to even come across Chinese text in everyday life.

    One good way is to start reading Manga translated in Chinese. That was the way I learnt how to read traditional Chinese words. Or if you can understand spoken Chinese, then watch a Chinese movie with Chinese subtitles.

    I wanna learn, and i wanna learn how to speak Mandarin i only know how to speak cantonese.
    Cause all my family members speak Cantonese they do know mandarin but there kinda rusty and they don't speak it often. So it's hard for me to pick up on it.

    I also find it very hard to learn Chinese. I used to attend Chinese school every Sunday when I was younger and it was difficult to learn ... but now I wish I learnt more because Im not very good at writing. I can only read and write the most comoon terms but thats about it

    i really wanna learn to read and write cinese as i think it' be so much easier when you go to chinese places and make life simpler as i can speak it but cant write or read it >.< well i can read like the really simple stuff like big small, good/ bad, numbers 1-10 etc and then i tend to rely on other people to read things for me >.<

    Get one of those books which teach you the origin of the characters, how the image of a sun morph into the character 日 and the shape of the moon inspired the character 月. That's the best way. Once you covered the basics strokes, you can go ahead with the complicated and less obviously evolved characters.
