Beginner Chinese lesson part 1

ni shi beijing ren ma?
bu shi, wa shi sang hai ren.

yes, got it, but what does it mean??

Wow I actually understood it, even recognizing some of the characters..hopefully. Here's what I remember from memoroy...

Other than the intro, which you probably figured out,
The lady asks, "Are you American?"
The guy says, "No, I'm Canadian."
Then the guy asks her where she is from, she says Shanghai.
The guy then comments that Shanghai is a beautiful place.
She then comments that his Mandarin Chinese is very good. He thanks her.

Dont listen to KatiushaVN4, your gonna need that "Chink" language in the future. Trust me, I'm one myself.

Although Chinese people occupies such a damn huge amount on Earth, but still English is way more popular. Nowadays, almost everyone speaks English...

You kidding me, even Chinese are learning them..

Mandarin chinesse is the most spoken language in the world.. probably because there is so many of them, but even stadistics say it will be the language of the future specially bussiness wise.. english is second in place. and yeah, right now it is the most WIDELY spoken.. but it wont be for long.. in the future it is said that spanish is gonna go in second place.. but you never know.. we may end up speaking russian after 2012.. lol

its the most widely spoken language throughout the world. They should, and many do.

I'ts hard with the pronunciations, but I always like challanges
