You can learn some Chinese cultures first,because when you learn Chinese ,you will find there are many differences between English and and Chinese.If you know the culture,you will find it is very interesting .So you can find happyness from the Chinese.I think it is very important.
Someone said that you can learn pinyin first ,I don't think so,because when I was child who can't speak something,my mother didn't teach me the pinyin frist.Well ,you know,when you learn English ,the frist word you spoke was "Hello",not agmas.Do you agree with me.
I want to have a friend who can speak English .Can we become friends?I can teach you something about China and Chinese.
