Hello Mis Alice thanks for your responce I bought a Mandarine Chinese at a glance phrace book and dictionary but some phraces I wrote to her, were using an agency to help us translate our letters for now, and she wrote me back letting me know she dint understand what I was trying to say but that she will be trying to improve her English skills. She had told me if I new a little Manderine I could be understood but I was a little disapointed cuase she couldnt understand what I wrote. I write to her in English but I threw in some mandarine phraces and thought if it will still be usefull to study this book or will my studying be in vain. Mabey she speaks Nanning dialect Im not sure
