I'm 24 yrs of age n am a foreign worker in Singgapore.I wanna speak Mandarin very well.Any suggestions!

Can any regular viewers of the PCNE channel (available in Europe via Sky digital, 28.5E) tell me whats the balance in approximate percentage terms of the amount of programming it provides in Mandarin and Cantonese?

I'm more interested in Cantonese programming and news, i.e. do they have regular news reports/programs in Cantonese on this channel?

Does programming in Mandarin have subtitles?

Thank you.

MY friend says if you're asian and you take Mandarin as a foreign language in high school, good colleges won't like it or even accept it.
I don't know Mandarin though.

I took Spanish in high school, but I don't really enjoy it. I either want to take French, Mandarin or Arabic next year. I will probably be a businessman so I am wondering which language will be the most useful? China is a rapidly growing power, so I thought Mandarin may be useful, but on the other hand French is good to know (especially in the fashion business) because so many people speak it. Which language do you feel would be most useful in this day and age in business?

i really want to learn mandarin(a form of chinese language), and i want to be able to speak it fluently as soon as i can. can anyone give me some sites or recommend some ways of learning it plz. and how long wud it take?
Thx!

learn Mandarin? Why or why not? I suck at learning languages, I admit.

What three countries have mandarin as the official language?

Hello, Which provinces/cities speak mandarin as a first language besides Beijing and Shenzhen?

Thanks.

When are people predicting that Mandarin will be the language two foreigners speak with each other to communicate, rather than now with English?

I'm asking this because If Mandarin becomes that language, then non-English countries won't want English teachers and I really want to teach English in Asia

i'm 30 years old and wanna to learn mandarin in macau, i'm looking for the class/school to learn mandarin. can you assist me?

I want to learn mandarin but like only for 6 months to a year and for only once a week since I am working.

I am thinking of learning Mandarin, however I am not sure of the benefits (business and social) as most people seem to be speaking Cantonese in the country, especially in Kuala Lumpur.

Is there a Language Centre specialised for learning Mandarin in KL or Selangor? Any good recommendations?

Thank you for your sharing. Much appreciated.
