I teach Chinese (dreams_to_print@yahoo.com).  Become my penpal.  Polyglot.com offers native penpals.  Get CDs to hear the pronunciation; mimic.  Pimsleur is popular.  Transparent Language is better.  The United States Armed Forces Institute course is the most comprehensive and the most expensive.\n\nChinese is actually very easy.  It has no verb conjugations, no tenses, no noun declensions, no prepostions.  Words are short, usually one or two syllables.

You better don't do it....the best way is chat with a Chinese . Just like I learn English.

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 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!

Do you know how to speak basic Mandarin in the first place?\n\nWell, I've spoken, written and read Chinese for all my life (that's 17 years) so "It's about life" in Chinese is, "Zhe shi guan yu shen ming zhong de dong xi".\n\nIf you know basic hanyu pinyin, you should pronounce it this way: Zhe4 shi4 guan1 yu2 shen1 ming4 zhong1 de4 dong1 xi1.\n\nThat is all.

You are trying to learn Chinese, in Ahmadabad.\n\nCheck with Colleges in Ahmadabad.\n\nThe one I know of is St. Xavier college.\n\nLanguage department head can help.\n\nWrite to or contact Chinese Consulate/ embassy, ask them to put you in touch with some one, say you are interested in spoken Chinese.\n\nSpoken Chinese is very different, it has many dialects, so you need to be region specific, eg Cantonese, Mandarin, Beijing, Hanan, Shanghai........ \n\nIt is not even like Gujarati, Kachii, Kathiawardy.... it is just very defferent and they do not understand each other.\n\nIn big city you will get by with English.

Great. Find a Fil-Chinese in the Philippines. You learn English more from a Filipino than any other.

I'd recommend Mandarin Chinese.  It is very different from English and so it will stimulate new and different parts of your brain.  Also, China may be taking over the world soon.\nIf not that, how about International Sign Language?  Again, a very different language, and a useful one, too.

I'd say Mandarin Chinese. Not only do you have to learn words ... inflection is also key ... and there are four inflections you can put on any word/syllable. And some of the words are best pronounced in a sing-song sort of tone. \n\nJapanese is definitely easier because it is not so heavily dependent on inflection. \n\nFrench, Spanish and German are all a piece of cake compared to Mandarin Chinese.

Some community collleges offer Mandarin.  I took it.  It was fun.  If the regular semester is too long, perhaps you can take an accelerated course or a summer course.  Those usually run faster/shorter...

I'd have to go with everyone else and say Spanish (although, I'm hardly a business person, so I don't know how useful Mandarin would be). However, there is one language that no one else mentioned that I would really like to learn: Sign Language. Other useful languages could be French (If you live in the northeast or New Orleans area) and Italian. One of the nice things about Spanish, Italian, and French is that once you are competent with one of these languages, the other two are much easier to read because they are all Latin based.
