I studied mandarin for five years in school but fell off, and now in college I’m taking a mandarin class again for the first time in multiple years next semester. I am looking for a children’s book (something with the difficulty of like… anywhere ranging from geronimo stilton to tale of desperaux) written entirely in Chinese. Could be a translation of an english book (as long as its a good translation) or one that was written in Chinese first. Actually, having it be a (good) translation might actually help since I’ll already be familiar with the story? Thanks!!

I’m a Japanese, interested in Chinese personal pronouns such as 吾、小生、小人、小子、小可、小的、余、予, and even though I have not studied Chines, I know 余、小生 because Japanese also use this, but only in Manga, novel so please teach me relationship between Japanese and Chinese in personal pronouns. A

Hello! I speak English (Living in Hong Kong).

I am fond of League of Legends and I play on the Taiwanese server. This may sound odd and I understand if it's uncouth, but trash-talk is something every player does when playing competitive video games, but unfortunately I cannot read or write mandarin.

Are there any phrases I can learn and type out easily to let my opponents know they're trash? Thank you! I'd also love to get my bearings on using a chinese keyboard to help me with this. Any insults are fine, as long as they're not super hateful or slurs.

Sorry if this is a silly question but as the title says would it be common or be normal for someone to say 还久不见 or is that just something you are taught when learning Chinese? In English its normal and a nice casual greeting and i would love to be able to use it is Chinese as well

We were tasked to create our Chinese name for our Mandarin class, i thought of integrating the surname Jiāng 江 and (possible) given name Měi 美 for my name, so it will be 江美 when written together. We were asked to create it either based on the possible meanings of our English name, but mine didn't have any so I took on the names that resonated with me most because my Mandarin teacher said that was alright too. I was just wondering if it's an appropriate name? Or if it sounds appropriate?

Hi! I’m going to my partner’s friend’s wedding this weekend, and it’s a standard chinese wedding at a restauraunt. My bf’s mom got me a pretty green qi pao from china and my bf and I thought it would be a good idea to wear this weekend but she said its weird and people usually dont wear qi paos to other people’s weddings. Is this true? (I’m asian btw)

I know you shouldn’t wear red, white or black to another persons wedding esp in chinese culture but wondering if it is weird to wear

Games are useful in one essence or another, but it is highly contextual...

A friend of mine a long time ago told me that he learned English by playing the Warhammer Franchise.

One example that comes to mind, if you ever played Halo 1 or Halo 2: When you pick up a weapon in game, you are informed in the UI language, "You have picked up such and such weapon." If you eliminate another player in the game, the game will say, "You have assassinated / splattered / beat down such and such player."

The problem with shooting games is that it is not convenient to stop the game and read everything on your screen. RPGs (final fantasy and similar titles) are good games to do this with, but require the player to sift through / look up some dialogue-specific terms.

So, the main question: What are some good games for learning Chinese / reinforcing Chinese skills you already learned?

Does anyone know what else I could try to somehow fix this?? 🙏🙏🙏

Hi, it's me again! Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried to search and inform myself everywhere, but I can't understand what kind of demons these are (I also read the Journey to the West book, but nothing comes to mind). What demons do you think they are? Frame from the Netflix's movie The Monkey King 2023

I need to source some short stories written in Mandarin, and after some consideration I thought the easiest way to do so would be to approach Mandarin-language creative writers and ask to work out a way to license stories they've already written. So, I'm seeking a Mandarin-language community along the lines of Wattpad, or just any way to get in touch with people writing short fiction in Mandarin, really.

Unfortunately, my Mandarin level is too low to competently go onto Chinese-language corners of the internet and ask, at least without Google translating everything. I used the search term 创意写作论坛 to try to find creative writing forums, but that may be a poor translation of the concept I'm looking for.

Im going to my nephews one month celebration and I am not chinese so I am not sure what would be the appropriate gift for this occasion. I’ve read online that money in an envelope is tradition. I was considering buying him clothes or and or toys or should I just do the red envelope with money?
