Re: Learn Chinese with Rocket Chinese - Anyone tried it?
I do not know Rocket Chinese but if you are looking for a good Chinese Mandarin learning software, I can recommend you to have a look at L-Ceps Personaltrainer Mandarin. I use the program personally since a couple of months and I am very happy with it. It uses a very intuitive multimedia approach and you can use both chinese characters and pinyin. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. I think they have a free trial version on their homepage http://www.l-ceps.com
So you can fully test the software to see if you like it or not.

Re: Learn Chinese with Rocket Chinese - Anyone tried it?
I think if you want to have a Chinese class,you should work on a lot of information in Chinese schools.
Hereby a school accepts international students. Have very nice teachers and also service. They can provide you an internship placement for free if your Chinese is better and better. Even you are a totally beginner, they will help you to learn quickly.
the prices will be like : Arround 700 USD per month.
My boyfriend is from Germany, and he studied there twice for 4 months, and now he can have a good talk with my parents(Chinese).
If you need my help you can get access to my Msn: michelle_song@live.cn
or my skype: michelle_song1
Forgot to say, the school is located in a see-view city named qingdao in China!~!!!!!

Re: Learn Chinese with Rocket Chinese - Anyone tried it?
How to learn Chinese is a frequently asked question.
Occasionally, people would like to find a tutor to help them learn Chinese. Actually, in modern times with fast development of internet, online mandarin Chinese seems more efficient. In some cases, taking part in a face-to-face class could be inconvenient due to scheduling, traffics, safety, etc, especially for those kids who intend to learn Chinese for Children. Online mandarin Chinese avoids all these problems. Through internet, Native Chinese teachers can offer professional Chinese for Children and propose useful advice on how to learn Chinese. What’s more, online learning also offers convenience and flexibility.
We are now the only Chinese language service provider, the largest and best-known Chinese training school in the world. http://www.Sino-Center.org.)
We focus on teaching you what you need to know when you need to know it. We give you the structure and context words so that you can quickly build vocabulary that makes sense. In this way, learners have a contextual queue from the structure which allows them to look up specific meanings more easily. Chinese uses many such structures.
It's a very effective method: learn Chinese language starting from the most frequently used Chinese words and characters. Chinese language learning has been made easy focusing on the 1,000 most common Chinese characters that make 89% of all Chinese language usage.

Chinese Pinyin Tones
Chinese Pinyin Tones
http://www.sino-center.org/
There are four tones in Mandarin Chinese Pinyin, plus one neutral tone(or called “no tone”).
在汉语中有四个声调，加一轻声（或称为“无音”）音。
First tone in Chinese Pinyin
The first tone is marked as a straight line like this¯. It has a long and sustained sound (as if singing a note).
第一种音调标记为这样的¯直线。它有一个长期和持续的声音（好像唱的说明）。
Second tone in Chinese Pinyin
The second tone is marked upwards like thisˊ . It is a rising tone (start from the lower part of your voice, then go up).
第二个音调的特点是向上ˊ这样。这是一个升调（从你的声音下部开始，然后向上）。
Third tone in Chinese Pinyin
The third tone is marked down and up like this ˇ. It is a low and curved tone. Try to go as low as you can and then bounce up.
第三种种语调明显下降，类似这样ˇ.。这是一个低，弯曲的基调。尝试尽可能的低，然后再反弹上去。
Fourth in Chinese Pinyin
The fourth tone is marked downwards like thisˋ. It is a falling tone (start from the grating highest part of your voice, then go down, as if exclaiming).
第四种语调像这样ˋ下调。这是降调，从你的声音光栅的最高部分（开始，然后下降）。
Neutral in Chinese Pinyin
The neutral tone has no mark. It is a short and light tone.
在轻声没有标记。这是一个短的和轻音。
Where should I mark the tones?
Tones should be marked on a vowel. If a word has more than one vowel, the tone should be marked on the main vowel of the word. Vowels are listed in the following order: a, o, e, i, u and ü. As the vowel ‘a’ appears first in this list, the tone in the word liao should be marked on the vowel ‘a’.
我应该在哪里标注音调？
音调应标记在元音上。如果一个词有多个元音，语调应标明这个词的主要元音。元音列出以下顺序：1，a, o, e, i, u。由于元音‘a’出现在这个列表中第一位，在liao中音调应该标在‘a’.上。

The Composition of the Chinese Characters
The Composition of the Chinese Characters
The composition of the main characters are in three ways:
汉 字 的 构 成 主 要 有 三 种 方 法：
1.Pictographic method
This is the earliest form of Chinese characters method to create the most original characters, Example: “日” 、“月” 、“ 水 ”、“ 牛”and so on take the shape of each term. These Pictographic characters changed the original character of the physical into a subsequent Founder fonts after gradual evolution, and some reduction in the number of strokes and some strokes added by the rules have become irregular fonts.
1.象形法
这是形成汉字的最早方法，因此创造了最原始的文字，例：“日”，“月”，“水”，“牛”等等。这些象形字经过逐渐的演变，倒后来都改变了原字的形状，变成了后来方正的字体，有的笔画减少了，有的笔画增添了，由不规则变成了有规则的字体。
2.Associative law
It’s easier to see the creation of truth through Pictographic characters, but they should not express an abstract meaning. The ancients would have created another law ---- Ideographic law. They used different symbols or borrowing Pictographic characters to add some symbols to express an abstract meaning. Example: the character "明" is made up of "日" and "月", meaning bringing bright. "旦" is made up of "曰" and"一" meaning the sun is rising from the horizon.
3.会意法
象形字比较容易看出造字的道理，但他们不能表达抽象的依稀。古人便创造了另一种造字法—会意法。就是用不同的符号或借用“象形字”加上一些符号来表达一个抽象的意思。例：“明”意思为“日”和“月”带来光明。“旦”字意思为太阳出地平线而升起。
4.Pictophonetic Law
Ideographic characters and Pictographic characters can be seen from the shape on the meaning of the words, but they are not allowed to deliver voice. And therefore people created a sound law-shaped characters. To express the sound of voices and express the meaning of the side next to match the shape, a lot of new words came into being. Example: the character "爸" is made up of phonetic character "巴" and meaning character "父"；"芭 " is a combination of the word "巴" and "++" with a form and so on so forth. According to statistics, Pictophonetic Characters account for about 90% of Chinese characters. The formation and development of Chinese characters, become an important tool for the exchange of ideas, adapted to the needs of human social life.
3.形声法
象形字和会意字都能从字形上看出字的意义，但却不能读出声音。因此又创造了形声法来造字。把表示声音的声旁和表示意义的形旁搭配起来，组成很多新字。例：“爸” 字是表音的“巴”字和表形的“父”字的结合；“芭”字是由“巴”和“++” 搭配而成。这样文字越早越多，据统计，形声字占汉字的90％左右。汉字的形成和发展，成为人类交流思想的重要工具，适应了人类社会生活的需要。
