Salut tout le monde, je m'appelle Lynn, je suis Taiwanaise.

For those who don't think Chinese sounds funny and who think so.
In this internet generation, even native Chinese could be confused about the actual writing of a word, it indicates the difficulty of the character, but also says the truth that no worries about its complicate.
--------------------

For Beginner

Quoi? Pour quoi? Combien? Quand? Quel l'heure?
For traveling, for joining people's conversation and pretending you know a little bit more then Nihao (Nihao sometimes sounds too much like foreigner try to make fun with Asian lol )
Ideas about tones (it's a revolution, you might suddenly don't feel confused anymore), the principles and stories of Chinese character forming and gain an overview to grow your interest.

Intermediate

We can learn Pinyin together. In Taiwan we use Zuyin, it might look a little bit like Japanese for you, it takes part of the Chinese characters to create the whole sound system.
As I speak very little French, I might be not able to understand the difficulty for a native French to learn Chinese, but we can always discover and talk about it together. There are some rules you might want to ask pour qoui, even for native Chinese speaker it's too nature that we are not sure how to explain it. I especially love this part, the system and structure of a language. We can even create some poem through it, with unfamiliar language can make people more fearless to show writing.

Advanced

Personally I am a fan of Japanese/French films, there are also very good Taiwan director like Ho Shiao-Hsian you might ever hear, in his movie there will be not much talking but more historical background, new wave style filming, and you will definitely discover the mix of chaos and shy culture which is the very real Chinese experience.

--------------------
Let's try to be able to communicate in Chinese, to form a sentence, is rather easy than European languages, due to its simpler grammar without past and future, no male and female, no Monday to Friday. Sounds relaxed right? :)
