Asian Languages

[carsnut]

I'm Chinese, so I know Cantonese fluently, but I can't write at all. My grammar and writing skills totally suck. On the other hand, I'm pretty good at Latin and okay with French.

lol I'm Chinese too. Only I speak mandrian. Very hard to learn.......................................

Haha, nice to see a fellow Asian here.

I speak Cantonese pretty fluently because my parents forced me to. Turns out it paid off, since I was able to blend right in when I went to Hong Kong.

But yeah, Chinese is hard to learn. I love my culture, but could there be an easier way to learn how to write? There's no way I'm memorizing 4,000 plus characters.

So did I, so did I, people thought I was in my late 20's and was Korean.

I tried learning Mandarin for about a year from a friend of my family whose parents are straight from China. Gave it up after they moved away about 3 years ago, don't remember much. However, and this really doesn't apply in this thread but I started learning German about 5 months ago and recently I've started dabbling with Dutch.

First post?

He said that he studies not, not speak it :S

I'm sure Mandarin, Hindi and Arabic are spoken here, it's just that English is much easier for all of us to read. There's a lot of people from those areas on this forum.

Yes, but nobody says that they speak it in this thread. I obviously know this is mainly and english forum...
