I was told that the best language to learn right now is Chinese because China is become more and more important. My good friend is currently studying Chinese and I want to keep in touch with him when he graduates so he can help me if I need help!\n\nI'd like to learn Chinese one day, but I'm working on Korean right now :)

Silly answerer, you don't need to learn English to learn Chinese. They're nothing like each other. \n\nTo the asker: You can contact the Chinese consulate to find where they recommend to study Chinese in India. Since Ím not in India, I don't know any schools there.

I'm in Taiwan currently and started out learning Chinese using the lessons on this website\nhttp://edu.ocac.gov.tw/home_en.htm\nClick on Chinese in the left hand collumn and then choose the level you desire - Primary, Intermediate and high level. Most of the Primary level recources include sound files. \nIf you're not interested in starting out with the "baby" stuff, you can try the intermediate level book "Speaking Chinese in 500 words" It also has sound files, but they are only for the conversation parts. It has, though, very thorough explanations and examples of the vocabularies used in the conversations. I worked through the book and can help myself pretty well!\nHope it helps!

I have a few Chinese friends that I have kept for several years.  It is more difficult to have a close friendship with a Chinese person because they are conditioned by their culture to be more formal and guarded.  I lived in China for almost a year.  I still cannot play go very well (weiqi).\n\nI like the way Chinese characters are constructed but it is difficult for me to remember them and they are very small.  I cannot appreciate the beauty of the calligraphy that I would hang it on the wall as a person does a painting.  I know how difficult it is to write with a brush though.  It took longer for me to learn Chinese than to learn French.  It is difficult to get used to the tones.  \n\nI like Chinese foods even the fungi and fermented things.  I miss the sweets.  I like some Chinese art.  I like the children's palaces.  I like the exercising before class and in the park.  I think acupuncture may really work.  Qi gong breathing is healthy.  \n\nChina is way too crowded, though.  I really felt claustrophobic.

I guess it depends on how good you are with languages :)\nYou should check out http://www.chinese-forums.com.  There are a lot of people with the same question.  Or go to http://www.chinese-forum.net , it's fairly new though.

I'm in china too, and I've found that most Chinese textbooks for learning chinese are not very useful or applicable to real life.\n\nI started with the pronunciation of the pinyin with the free class my school gave.  Then I moved to writing/reading (which should be combined but they don't understand that) I used "Reading and Writing Chinese" by Tuttle Publishing, Hong Kong.  can buy in major cities' foreign language bookstore for around 120RMB.  It mostly teaches the old characters but is very useful because it has english explanations and step-by-step (or stroke-by-stroke) writing diagrams.  And if you know the old you can learn the new ones easily, but not the other way around.\n\nOnce you have basic numbers, travel words and everyday needs, you should sit down with a phrasebook or a restaurant menu and study the foods.  It is a must-do!  Eat something different every day and study the characters and pronunciation of the food words.\n\nBeyond that, I would recommend you take a chinese friend to the bookstore and look through a few books until you find one that best suits you.  DONT buy the one your friend recommends, keep looking... you will find one, but it has to be challenging and interesting, not the "Kunming is the spring city" type of book, thats BS that you will never need in your daily life as a foreigner.

It sounds like your english isn't all that bad.  You might want to get a really good english dictionary to help you with your spelling and grammar.  You can also get instruction audio tapes to help.  The best way, however is to surround yourself with people whose first language is english.  You may be able to locate english immersion schools in you home town.\nAt one point, I had tried to learn Cantonese and found that being with my friends from Hong Kong, as much as possible helped me to learn faster than tapes, etc..\nGood luck
