Well, Chinese is my mother tongue, as far as I know, generally we just memorize it by writing it over and over again. Surely there is some creative way to do it, but it requires you have some foundation of Chinese words.

I must admit I kinda hate Russia, for my families used to live in Vladivostok for generations where it used to be a part of China. But after Russians come, they killed some of my family members brutally, and took our territory.

It actually depends. If u wanna a good job and earn some money, Beijing and Shanghai and shenzhen would be the best choices. But these cities are too crowded like the place I live in( Beijing), take a bus or subway is a nightmare in large city. I suggest u go to a east coast middle sized city like QingDao and weihai. Though not that spectacular as huge city, but good for living, fresh air, good view and beach, and merchandize also cheap.

I love Scandinavian country. I've been Sweden Finland. Botha are very attractive. Nice view, friendly ppl.

Good question. I actually don't like English, I like my mother tongue and Japanese language more. but, yeah, like they said, English is widely used language, morever, I wanna study oversea, apparentlly I must get on well with my English. Actually, not all Chinese learn English, but if you enter a school,English is compulsory subject that you got to past it. Stupid national education department.

Yes its an appropriate expression in oral English. Originally is wrong, this expression was invented by a famous Chinese offspring actress, she said this sentence first, because she just translate it straightly from the Chinese expression:好久不见." But since then American are widely accept it.

What exactly you wanna improve? Characters, grammar or speaking? I speak orthodox Mandarin,if u need help u can add my ICQ account or MSN. Glad to help.

got icq or MSN? My Mandarin is very good even in Chinese ppl. And English is not bad as well.
