The Mandarin Thread

Since I don’t know Italian or Spanish or German or even French, I am going to start a thread with a language I know - Mandarin!  I know there are a lot of people learning Chinese out there so this may be a good opportunity to learn :D

So, let’s start!

大家好！我的名字叫Cynthia！很高興認識你！

其實我的中文能力比我的英文差，我比較容易用英文表達我自己的想法。

Anyways，希望許多人能借此機會多多學習你們的中文能力！祝你好運！

    你好! 是LondonRose. 你的”post” :) 是不是普通话? 可是,”你們” 是 “traditional” 汉字，对吗？

    这是我的　limited Chinese response :) You’re right, it is a good way to learn. What’s the English translation of what you wrote? 我不知道 enough　汉字 to understand everything. Hope this Englese wasn’t too frustrating to decipher!

    I love this comment :D I used to talk like this with my friends back in high school :D We call it “Chinglish” haha!

    Basically what I said was:
    “Hello everyone! My name is Cynthia. Very happy to meet you!

    Actually my Chinese isn’t as good as my English, I can better express my thoughts in English.

    Anyways, I hope many people can use this opportunity to better your Chinese ability (bad Chinese grammar there oops :-O). Good luck!”

    我的post(i don’t know how to say this in Chinese haha)是普通话，但写的是“繁体字”(traditional Chinese). 我也可以用简体字如果这个对许多人来说比较容易看得懂 :D

    :) I was going to call it Chinglish but then I thought that was more Chinese-English, so that’s why I switched it to Englese, which is more English-Chinese :P I need to look up some of those characters. If you have time to post the pinyin it would make it easier to look up the meanings. I need to enlarge my vocabulary. I’ve used almost all I know already :P 再见！啊，我想蓝色，你呢？。。。 你的家/工作/学习好吗？我学习“TEFL” certificate online… it’s going ok so far. Ok, I’ll save the rest of what I know for another post! 我会说 “Is your bicycle new or old? red or black/green etc.?” :D 你有没有一个?! Ok, I’ll be back after I learn some more vocab.

    I’m pretty much a banana, I’m useless at mandarin/cantonese. Plus I don’t know how to get the characters up on the computer.
    In Malaysia we call it manglish, which can either mean ‘malaysian-english’ or ‘mangled-english’. :P Only in Manglish, it consists of mandarin, english, cantonese, malay and tamil. And possibly hindi and hokkien as well.

    Haha my dad and I used to joke about how we spoke “Franglais” (Franglish?) all the time…I remember once asking him in the car was it weird that I couldn’t stick onto one language and always flipped flopped between the three (”Franglispanol” would be more accurate but i never spoke spanish with my dad)… He said no it wasn’t and that was that…reassuring enough for a 6 year old :)

    by the way i DESPERATELY must start learning mandarin…. I know about 3 words and will be in shanghai in only…. 2 1/2 months!! someone pleaseeee help :)

    你好！先在我学习中文在苏州大学。我的中文不好不过我会一店店！！

    你们怎么了？我很喜欢中文因为我朋友不明白汉字！ha ha!

    Does that make sense? I just started learning Chinese here in China this past March. I’m still amazed that I could even write that much in characters! haha!
