Hihi!
I'm learning Mandarin myself. My girlfriend always says that it's easier to learn Cantonese, if you already know Mandarin. But that's easy talking when yer Chinese yourself. *l*

Hey,
I've been studying Mandarin and Cantonese for a little while now, and I think they're about equally as easy. I don't think you'll have a problem with Mandarin if you already speak Cantonese.

Re: learning Mandarin
Dear IronMonkey,
How are you studying them? In a classroom setting or on your own? If on your own, through cassette tapes, videos, computer cd-roms or what? Did you know a Chinese dialect before you started your studying?

Re: learning Mandarin
Hello, I'm a primary school teacher, who has just had a new student from Mi Kaw, I'm not to sure how it's spell, my apologies.
She does not know much English and I thought It might be easier from me to pick up some basic phrases and sentences to help the situation.
I am hoping that someone might have some resources out there that could help me in this communication barrier.
I would really like to expand from here, to broaden my horizons as I did learn some basic greeting in college which helps a little.
Anything would be much appreciated.

Re: learning Mandarin
Hi - I want to study Mandarin, both spoken and basic characters. I am not Chinese. I will need standard English transliteration (pinyin?) as a temporary "crutch" to help connect sound and character in my memory.
I know that audio tapes together with writing practice will be the best method. I have an ability to make sounds right, with practice. I retired recently, so now I have time for fun things like this. Ideally I would like to get everything - both written and audio - from the Internet, without paying too much. Later I will try it with real people. Does anybody have a special recommendation of an Internet source for what I want?
