Chinese Learning for beginners?
Ni hao Wǒ de míngzì shì Pen Qiu Yan.
Panqiuyan
Let see! I know 3 or 4 characters
Ni hao means hello or you good/ okay
WO means me/I/my
Shi means 10
That's all
@_@
NewCultivator It says hello my name is Pen Qiu Yan.
Panqiuyan wait! doesn't "shi" means 10?
NewCultivator 10 = 十 (shí), is = 是 (shì)
correct me if im wrong
NewCultivator This is the proof of TONAL language. You need someone to 'correct' you else, you learn something wrong. Apps and Book can't replace a teacher. When you learn something wrong, it might be too late to correct it.
MasterRabbink Sadly No institute in my place for teaching CN
Yessss.. There was once that my friend was giving a speech about how grateful he was for his mom but my chinese teacher ended up laughing cuz the way he's saying it was like he was grateful for his horse.
