i learned it the old school way. in school. from 3 years old through high school.
and after more than a decade of not speaking it, i can barely pronounce the words right. embarrassing!
some i can't read anymore.

i wince whenever i pronounce some words. they hurt my ears.

it's like listening to a kid playing the violin for the first time

what i need is to immerse myself with mandarin speaking people again for my ears to pick up the correct pronunciation. dunno how long it will take for me to relearn though. my dad said it's like riding a bike, but i dunno. *shrugs*

ooh, that sounds kinda cool.

i clicked on "i need more info".

personally, i would want to learn about proper pronounciation of the words - like how it's done with online dictionaries...or does something like that already exist? i've never searched for an online mandarin dictionary before...

*edit*
i mean how they give you an audio clip of the pronounciation if you click on the word, at sites like the one for merriam-webster.

Jetliang on the Jet Li forum is give us lessons but is not adding the pronunciations so i would like to learn that...i have a friend who speaks it so i guess if i need help i can ask him but it would be good to get some help from other people on here because i can't always see my friend...but from what Jetliang is teaching us soon i should be able to write some things but using English alphabet and if i was to write on paper i could use some character because those have been added too...i dont know how to use them on the computer...

Like a friend said, we have a thread going in the Jet Li forum and Mark Allen also has a really weird story thread going on in his forum (he's making people ask questions with pheonetic pronounciation, tones and actual correct English spelling of the word...bizzaar!).

In the Jet Li forum we're trying to learn simple Chinese characters with the corresponding English word and basic sentence structure.

I say one can't have too many teachers! I'd love to learn to speak, read and recognize Mandarin (in English and Chinese writings)!!!

I think learning mandarin online is okay when u already have some strong base..for beginners, I wouldn't recommend it, coz the pronunciation is a strong issue that is hard to learn online. For me, learning pronunciation was done over months of repetition in a classroom, and it was useful.

i agree...you can never have too many teachers...and it will be a good way to see how others teach it...Jetliang is doing a good job but i think sometimes he has a hard time explaining things to us because its hard for him to tell us over the net and he also says his English is not that good...i disagree with that...i think his English is better than some people who speak it as their native language...but anyway i can't wait to see how someone else teaches it and what they teach us...hurry up and start...

Here's a suggestion.....video blog the Mandarin lessons! That way, we could hear the pronounciation....there could also be a written text to go with the video blog. That'd be sweeeetttt!

Hey, I have crappy dial-up, too! 10-12 minutes of dial-up time to load 1 minute of video! That's why I wanna know what kind of video it is so I know whether or not to make such a big commitment!

I would want to learn it as a child would learn it and through story and necessity.

start simple - grow on what has been learned. Build in curiousity so that in order to proceed to the next part, you want to learn what that word is.

include repitition.

use images and examples.

my thoughts...

I realize it's an old thread.

I am interested to learn, it's always a good thing to learn another language, I'm not sure how that will work for me learning it through the net. Although I'm quite lucky that my housemate is from Shanghai so she can correct all my weird pronounciation.
I think she's teaching me Shanghainess instead of Mandarin...
