Try to go to China and stay there for a period of time, which I think is the best way to learn spoken Chinese. Make sure your Chinese teacher speaks standard Chinese - Mandarin or Putonghua unless you really want to learn Cantonese or other dialects.

In Venezuela, my country, they are starting a program to teach Chinese to everyone interested, this is being ruled by the government.  Maybe you can check on this page http://www.gobiernoenlinea.ve/misc-view/index.pag

SFBay Area has some great gyms, it just depends what you're looking for.  there's lots of different styles of kung fu and other styles too in the bay because of the large asian pop.  if i were there now i'd learn real original drunken kungfu, but that's just me.\n\n LA probably has good stuff too, but don't personally know.

I am learning Chinese (Mandarin). I have already studied for five years, with about half of that time spent in Taiwan or China. I enjoy it a lot!

Great decision!\n\nThere are many places to get certified in San Francisco, but I favor Tom Yang at California Dive Center in San Bruno.\n\nSincere and dedicated, Tom makes diving enjoyable.  He pays attention to his students, and makes sure that you are safe and having a good time.  Very patient.  Tom gets a lot of recommendations, a significant portion of his class is referrals.\n\nWhen we moved back to the Bay Area, I called three instructors and decided that Tom was the best for us.  My recommendation would be to do the same.  Get at least two more recommmendations and talk to each of them.\n\nDiving is a lot of fun, and your dive instruction is an important part.  There are a lot of instructors, each with his/her unique style.  Having an instructor that you get along with and has a teaching style that you like will be very helpful.  Everyone learns differently, so teaching style and personality of the instructor is important.\n\nEnjoy!
