wow that sounds a tiny bit like japanese:

ichi ni san shi (or yon) go roku nana hatchi kyu

jyu

[carpediem4utube]

Yup - Japanese has its roots in Chinese. If you read Kanji you'll see lots of similarities. ;-)

老师 Diana, are you also learning Spanish?

[carpediem4utube]

Yes!  I studied Spanish in high school and am working on getting better at it. I live in a predominately Hispanic town and it's really useful. Besides, learning is fun! :-)

[HaoRhe]

Aha I see. I could help you with your Spanish ^-^ . I am a native speaker of Spanish and I'm trying to learn Chinese.

@kemura428

Yes. From what I understand every syllable must have a clear intonation...

For example the number one stays the same ---

The number two falls \

The number five falls then rises \/

The number ten rises /
