website Posted February 4, 2004 at 03:49 AM Report Posted February 4, 2004 at 03:49 AM Ni hao, I have been studying Mandarin for about eight years and living in China for two years, but my language skills are very poor. I still can't read, write, or understand much Chinese. Could someone please tell me in pinyin how to say the following? My dictionary doesn't have them and my Chinese girlfriend is tired of me asking her. Cambodia - organize - magazine - ex-wife - best - better- What do you mean? little by little - step by step - Xiexie! Quote
