Hi, I've always wanted to learn chinese, I have some friends in Hong Kong who told me that the best is to learn Mandarin because Cantonese is only spoken in few parts of China. Is someone here interested to give me some Mandarin lessons in exchange of French or German lessons?
Mandarin is the shizzy. Studied it for 2 years at uni. Then failed out due to addiction, sorry can't help you but I would also like to start studying it again. Chinese culture and philosophy are such a big part of my life (I train Chinese martial arts and live by the ancient Eastern ways).
Mandarin is so beautiful to hear being spoken. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I would like to study too.
