haha i know these following sentences is the pronunciation of cantonese, cuz i am cantonese:) nay hoh =hello =你好 nay hoh mah?=how are you?=你好吗? doh-tzay= thanks=多谢 And these are the pronunciation of manderin Nee hau=hello=你好 Nee=you=你 Hau=good=好 Nee Hau Mah?=how are you?=你好吗？ i think the sentenses（pronunciation）can help you speak Chinese ,it`s convenient. But if you want to learn Chinese systematically, you may need to start with pinyin

你好 你 好 你好吗 the second paragraph i can't translate it ！！ are you using pinyin？？

Can I learn Chinese in that way? For example, using "Nee Hau Mah?" to say "How are you?"

nee hau means hello,nee hau mah means how are you
