Hi, I'm 16, I'm Swiss and can speak english and french fluently.
Last month I suddenly decided to start learning Mandarin Chinese. I have found many, many sites on the internet which have helped me in building a grammatical and vocabulary base. To do so, I had to use Pinyin texts and words, which are essential in teaching Chinese pronunciation. I have even managed to be understood by Chinese people using this sentence:
"Wo3 shi4 Yin1guo2 ren2. Xian1zai4 zai4 xue2 Zhong1wen2, yin1wei4 Zhong1wen2 hen2 you3young"
I have also started assembling all that I have found into a book, which is now around 70 pages long. But here's the subject of this topic:
I would like to find someone Chinese to correspond via e-mails, because there is no better way to ameliorate a language than using it! I am aware that I won't learn the chinese language using only internet, and that is why I am going to follow 2h long lessons every week starting from september.
If anybody has a grammatical or vocabulary concern, i will do my best to explain what I have learned over hours and hours of staring at the screen !
