well,I am chinese,haha,you can learn from me,and I'd love to learn english from you,don't you agree?
First,I'd like to know how your chines is.
Then I can guide you to how learn chinese.I've heard that chinese is the hardest language in the world,but I don't think so,I think that chinese is just very different from letter languages,like english,franch,german.I think if you are interested in chinese you can learn it like you speak you mother language,don't you agree?
I'd rather love to help foreign firends to learn my mother language chinese.

thanks lyn2008 !
yeah, i really like learning language. I am interested to learn chinese because I think nowadays, Chinese is one of the popular business language, beside English.
I have a chinese teacher coming every week.
She teaches me by giving me stories in Chinese letters, then gives me the pinyin letter, and then translates them to my native language.
First I think it's not too critical to learn the letter, but now I find it very important, because many people mostly use chinese letter to describe their idea or telling news.
so, what to do to increase my chinese ?
I'm happy to teach you english.

I think the pronounciations of chinese words are the most diffcult to learn.Because almost every word has four pronounciations,different pronouncaition has different meaning.I suggest if you want to learn chinese well,you should start from learning phonetics and tone?

it's best to start learning chinese words first before learning the conversational chinese. here's a link to a translator site - www.appliedlanguage.com. this is not only limited to chinese language but other languages too. have fun being a polyglot! :)
