我在學日文呢﹗不過不是在學校﹐ 是我自己靠看日語維基百科學日文。我也學過法文﹐現在沒讀很快會忘記﹐所以我也有看法文維基百科。中文是母語所以不會忘記﹐不過我也有看中文維基百科。

(不要誤會﹐我不是經常在看維基百科)

看维基百科 eek *听了就开始有点头痛了*

維基百科(Wikipedia) 有很多有趣的條目呢。

That would literally mean "I learnt the Germany language at school". Usually in Chinese we just say 我在学校学习了德语 (or 德文 if you're using Cantonese, but in the written language it's usually 德语) Of course, what you said makes sense too.

I'm the opposite: I can read more than I can speak. I mean, I know what some words mean, but I have no idea how to pronounce them.

The NJStar CJK word processor gives Mandarin pinyin, but I normally speak Cantonese and I want to know how to say the words in Cantonese.

Wow! It's amazing that all of you can talk fluent Chinese! I'm teaching myself Japanese, and the kanji is simplified of the Chinese characters, but I can't speak Chinese. I'd love to speak Mandarin, so if anyone knows a helpful website or can teach me a few things, I'd be forever thankful!

P.S.-the only word I know (and I can't pronounce it) is ma. (Does it mean horse?)

Well, 'ma' far as i know is a question marker sort of. I only studied Mandarin for about two weeks (Found a really nice online course via www.omniglot.com. GO THERE FOR VIRTUALLY ANY LANGUAGE. Also, a good resource is www.phrasebase.com, they're a forum, and some of hte language GDs there are very...Not helpful, and then others are GODSENDS).

It does! But it also means a lot more: mother, to curse, ant, spicy are just some of them...

Not to be nit-picky, but Japanese Kanji are not all simplified forms, and only the katakana were really derived from kanji as I recall (radicals, to be more precise).

As for some examples of kanji in Japanese

車 is the complex form of 车
学 is the simplified form of 學
馬 is the complex form of 马
来 is the simplified form of 來
電 is the complex form of 电
国 is the simplified form of 國

I'm semi-functional grammatically speaking in Chinese, but unfortunately I am quite lacking in vocabulary. I know about 1,200 characters or so from Japanese, and a few more from studying Chinese or learning how to convert between simplified and complex, so I often rely on that to either create words when I need them, or more often just try to understand what is written.

It should just be 我學了中文兩年了, and "pok gai" literally means to fall over on the street, but it's used as a swear word. See Wikipedia for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puk_Guy
