Hi Benny

I have been learning mandarin for just one month and I like it a lot but we only have one 2hour class per week and materials are limited. If you have time would you mind answering the following please.

“do you want it or not?” ,“do you have it or not?” and “next day”, "tomorrow ", “yesterday” and “today”?

Also, what is the best way to remember the characters and also I am having trouble following the rules for writing the characters at this stage. Any hints to make it easier.

Thanks so much

Hello msstokes!
I have been learning mandarin for one month too. But I have a penpal from
China. And he help me to study this difficult language. I will try translate your
phrases.
Do you want it or not? – Xiang bù xiang?
Do you have it or not? – Yǒu bù yǒu?
yesterday – Zuótiān
today – Jīntiān
tomorrow – Míngtiān
next day – Dì èr tiān
I found this in the dictionary.If I am wrong my chines friend will correct me.
If you want we can help each other. Write me something in Chinese and I will answer
to you.

I think the best way to remember the characters is to write them 10 to 20 times, trying to see a picture in the character ( for exampel kou3 looks like an open mouth and means mouth, more abstract deng3 looks like a bored face to me so I know it means wait ( cause waiting is boring) ) and then to repeat the characters after some days.
