Steven Zhou is an exchange student here at Mt. Abe from China. He's extremely friendly and happy to speak Mandarin Chinese with anyone who asks. Since he's in a couple of my classes, I've had the chance to practice some of the Mandarin I've learned through Rosetta Stone. Most of the time our conversations are very short, because I am not very advanced in Mandarin and cannot carry conversations much longer than a few sentences of exchange, but every time we talk it helps me to improve my confidence in speaking Mandarin Chinese. I would really recommend to anyone who wants to practice Mandarin to speak to Steven. He's very friendly and he's more than happy to help you out with conversational speaking.

This source has been vital to me to learning languages. It does not teach languages (so far) that do not use the same characters as English, but it teaches all of the major European languages. It starts you off by teaching you how to say you are drinking or eating and your gender, and slowly raises your skill level in the language by adding more vocabulary and the longer you work on the courses, the faster you'll be able to say exactly what you want! This resource has helped me to keep up my French skills during vacations and breaks for school, it also has helped me to have very basic skills in German, Spanish, and Italian. I would highly recommend this app (YES! IT'S AN APP FOR YOUR MOBILE PHONE! AS WELL AS A WEBSITE!) to anyone who's even the slightest bit interested in learning a language. It will slowly build you up using the strategy of making you translate from English to the language and vice versa. This is a must-use for anyone learning a European language.

HSK (Level I) assesses test takers' abilities in the application of everyday Chinese (Mandarin). It is the counterpart of the Level I of the Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Languages and the A1 Level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF).

Like with any social network, be careful. Not everyone on there is a person just like you trying to learn a new language. But that aside, this website was really great for me to talk with people who knew Mandarin Chinese and were willing to help. Some people I just had quick conversations with that only lasted a few sentences, others I still talk to today. The person that knows Mandarin that I still talk to lives in China and is always happy to help me with the tones and to have conversations with me and teach me how to say things like a normal Chinese person would say them. This is a really great resource for person to person interaction. But again, be careful, as always.

Mahli is an amazing teacher. She helped me to learn Mandarin at a more precise level. Instead of just teaching me vocabulary, she taught me grammar rules and the tones that are crucial to the Chinese language. She would stay after school with me or meet up with me for around an hour every few days and we would go over things that I needed and/or wanted to know and she would help me with them and she would also critique my Chinese. Mahli studied abroad to China, so she knows the difficulties of learning Mandarin, so she is extra patient with you. She is really a great teacher and to anybody who would like some advice on Mandarin Chinese, I would certainly recommend talking to Mahli.

This lesson taught me new vocabulary pertaining to how to refer to people and things. I learned how to say things like, "I," "you," and "they." It helped to teach me how to describe, very basically, my feelings toward something. This lesson really helped me to speak Mandarin at a level I was starting to really hope to achieve. I am still extremely basic, but now I can talk about myself and other people instead of just talking about food and basic actions. I would highly recommend getting to at least this lesson in Rosetta Stone because it will really help you to be able to convey much more than what you could before, no matter how basic you still are. This resource is a must to anyone wanted to learn Mandarin Chinese.

This video is extremely useful in order to understand how the trainers interact with the animals, specifically the orcas.
