我 剛 剛 開 始 學 中 文, 請 多 多 指 教.

I(wo3) just(gang1 gang1) started(kai1 shi3) learning(xue2) chinese(zhong1 wen2), please(qing3) correct me if I make any mistake*(duo1 duo1 zhi3 jiao4).

*"correct me if I make any mistake" is an approximate translation of 多多指教.

多 = much, many

指 = direct, point (to), guide

教 = teach

多 多 指 教 japanese? i won know cause i don't speak japanese... but now that you mention it - it does sound a little bit archaic - like some sayings in wuxia novels.

Additional sentences for polar:

Xianzai ji dian (zhong)? = What time is it?

Wo shi chi su de = I eat vegetables (I'm vegetarian)

Zhe ge dongxi gui bu gui? = Is this thing expensive?

Tai gui!!!! = Too expensive. (Often used sentence in night markets :wink: )

Wo bu chi la de = I don't eat spicy (Isn't of any use in Sichuan :mrgreen: )

The only time I've actually heard 請 多 多 指 教 in conversation was when a Japanese student introduced herself. I often see it in Japanese shows that are dubbed or subbed.
