Lola Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I have a question, is Mandarin and Chinese the same language? A while back, I thought it would be nice to speak Chinese. When I go out to my favorite Chinese restaurant, I love hearing the lady talk to the cook. I picked up My Chinese Coach, a learning game for my 3DS. I played it for a while, but got stuck on the writing part. However, I am confused, because I am not sure if Chinese and Mandarin are the same. I ask because there is this cartoon show called Ni Hao Kai Lan. On the show she used a lot of words I picked up from the game, but she said she speaks Mandarin.

Miya Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Chinese is the word for "the languages spoken in China". Mandarin is a dialect of Chinese (considered the 'standard' dialect). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
