Mandarin ^_^

Yipee!! :D I've been studying Mandarin since yesterday ^_^ Where? Just at home.. using internet :)) too good there's someone who uploaded some lessons and there's 28 or more lessons. I'm still on the 3rd part.

But it really helped me a lot. Even the firsts were common phrases and words. But this is really the really hardest language to learn because you should be good at pronounciation or else the meaning would be different. And you should also be good at intonations.

Here are some words and phrases I've learned already ^_^ :
ni hao - hi
ni hao ma? - how are you/you well?
you answer "ni hao ma?" by "hen hao" which means very well
and add "xie xie" meaning thanks or "xie xie ni" meaning thank you.
ni hui shuo ying wen ma - can you speak english?
*the "ma" serves as the sign of questioning.*
answer the questiong by "hui" if yes and "bu hui" if no.
ying wen - english
hui shuo - can speak
ni hui shuo pu tong hua ma - can you speak mandarin?
pu tong hua - mandarin
yi dian er - a little *it's hard to pronounce this one*
wo shuo de bu hao - i don't speak well
bu means like "not"
wo means I
ni means you
ni shi mei guo ren ma - are you american? ~ shi are the "am&are"
answer this by "shi" if yes and "bu shi' if no
mei guo means america and ren means person
so if combined "american"
zhong gua ren - chinese

that's it.
I'll keep studying :D
It's an advance lesson for me of being a stewardess ^_^
That's my new dream.
