    Default Learn Chinese

    Last thursday I've started taking Chinese lessons at my school. So I've decided to teach to you some of the stuff that I'm learning. The only problem is that my computer doesn't have the Chinese symbols so I can only use Pinyin.

    Chinese is the most spoken langauge in the world. About 1.4 billion people speak it. The would has around 5 billion people.


    Some Vocab

    Sun- ri
    moon- yuè
    Mountain- shan Theres a line above a
    Tree- mù
    Water- Shuî
    Fire- Huo
    Person- rèn
    Mouth- Kou
    Bright- Mìng
    Forest- lin
    Hot- Yàn

    Either you teacher sucks or you remembered wrongly??

    Sun - can also be tai yang
    Tree - mu is wood! shu is tree
    Mouth - can also be zhui ba
    Bright - can also be liang
    Forest - proper term would be shen ling
    Hot - can also be ri, same pronounciation as Sun'r ri

    Thank you should be - xie xie ni
    What is your name - Also qing wen nin de ming zhe (please tell me your name)
    (nin gway?? xing would be asking for surname ONLY. xing is read as sing)
    See you later - ming tian is tomorrow

    Just want to clear some confusion, I am a Chinese who speak very fluent English...come to think of it my Chinese pales in compare to my English

    My I know some details about your teacher?
