你好！我叫Stephen。我喜欢学语言。我今年十九岁 。我会说英语、法语、西班牙语、也会一点中文。谢谢！

Some pointers:

-Chinese is written entirely without spaces, don't put them in at all. 

-In Chinese, you have to like "verb(ing)" something. For example "I like ice cream" has to be literally translated as "I like eating eating/to eat ice cream" in Chinese - 我喜欢吃冰淇淋。Other examples 我喜欢做运动 I like to play sports, 我喜欢看电影 I like to watch movies, 我喜欢看书 I like to read books, 我喜欢跟朋友们聊天 I like to chat with my friends.

-When you list things in Chinese you need to use this funny comma 、. On my (windows) PC you turn on your Chinese keyboard and press the button with # and ~ on it to get this funny comma. When you list things in Chinese you have two choices - you commas inbetween all the items A、B、C、D、E、F or to put commas between all the items expect the penultimate and final ones like we do in English A、B、C、D、E和F.

-The word 和 (which means "and" and can mean other things) is used differently in Chinese. In Chinese, it is used to between two nouns only (or pronouns etc.). For example 我喜欢吃冰淇淋和草莓 I like to eat ice cream AND strawberries. 和 also means "with", and is often interchangable with 跟、与、同. 我跟他聊天 I chat with him. You cannot use it to connect two clauses together. It's weird at first, but the more you read the better feel you get for it. 

-In Chinese, you say "I am 19 this year". I don't know why, you just do. 

Hope this helps!

Trying a little chinese

I recently got a book for learning Chinese that I've been using and I decided to maybe try a little bit of it on here. I've not been learning the language seriously yet. I've only been playing with the language for a little over a week.
