If you mean Chinese - unfortunately I do not know how to speak it, but it's taught in the school where I'm a Teacher.

Unfortunately, it's a very hard language to learn.

Sorry that I could not have been of more help.

Have a lovely rest of the evening.

Yes, Baby Joker.

There are quite a number of us here who can speak Chinese. that's how we spell it. It is the biggest language in the world, spoken by almost 1 billion people, followed by English as the second.
The biggest dialect or now called the national language is Mandarin, or Hanyu, also called Putonghua, that's how we spell it, meaning the language of the common people or Public Language. It is called Hanyu, meaning the Han people's language because the majority of Chinese people today are Han people. The national language is now simplified so that it is easier to write. But the people in Taiwan, Canton province and some other places prefer the old or traditional way of writing.
It is easier to learn and to speak the modernized way, and in Mandarin because it has only 4 intonations while the Cantonese has 9 different intonations, which make it more difficult to master.

Yeah, I do. Cantonese and okay Mandarin which I do prefer calling Putonghua. Why? It wouldn't help much even if I told you. I mean this has got nothing to do with your test.
