Hello there!
Ok, so here's my dilemma, in about two years I'm going over to spend a year in China. I always thought I'd go to France, because I know French fairly well, but I was recently told to go to China instead. I'm happy with the choice, because I love Chinese culture, but I don't know a lick of Manderin. The only thing I know are basic random words in Wan Giles or Pin Yin, and that's just because it's that acadec topic this year. redface . The only phrase I know? "Pi Lin Pi Kong"- Denounce Lin, Denounce Confucius. It was a propaganda slogan from the 1970's sweatdrop .
So I'm hoping to get my friend's mother to tutor me, because in my small town there are no professional Chinese tutors/schools. Is there any way, (either than watching old Chinese movies xp ,) to help me along? I know I won't get anywhere near fluent in the time I have, but I at least want a basic understanding.
Right now? I know how to write some triditional Chinese (though, to be honest, most of the ones I know are from my Japanese friends as their kanji redface )
Is there more I can be doing?
-CBD

Yes! Definitely! If you want more than just a crash course of simple phrases, I strongly recommend starting with learning all the sounds of Chinese, and how pinyin works (which I assume your tutor will probably go over with you). If you know a few basic Traditional Chinese hanzi and their rough Simplified equivalents, you should be fine as they both share similarities.
In two years, if you work really hard, you could probably manage some basic fluency in understanding Chinese. :3 It takes much longer to learn how to read perfectly, and even longer to be able to write fluently, so you should definitely practice some literacy-related things every day once you're at that stage, 'cos it's easy to forget.

Ni hao!
I am currently learning Mandarin Chinese through an online school located in Beijing. My HS is paying for it entirely and I am one of the 3 people who have taken this class for the first time in the school (it just began this year). I am really enjoying it! heart It is fantastic and I might even study it once I get to college. I listed it as a major at one of the universities that I applied to, so we'll see!
Does anyone know any good Chinese films with the main language being Mandarin? I like comedy, adventure, and especially, horror. Any suggestions? domokun

Any suggestions? domokun My school is doing something like that with Chinese next year (they had did this with Japanese but they dropped it.) and they are also doing it with american sign language except that the teacher isn't at the school she/he is being video recorded and is teaching for 3 schools and you get microphones so you can answer the questions and etc. EDnet is what they call it.

These are symbols for transcribing sounds, known as "Zhuyin" (注音) or "ㄅㄆㄇㄈ" (Bopomofo). They are meant for helping people learn how to pronounce words in Mandarin. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuyin
