What are the best ways to learn Mandarin online for free?
Let's get straight into it:
I want to learn some basic Mandarin, online for free. I'm going to be in China, learning Mandarin in a few months, and although I'm not required to know any, I'd still like to know some basics, as I'm not the best at languages, and I figure if I have a head start I'll be able to fare a little better.
So, what are some good , free, online places where I can learn Mandarin?
Thank you in advance.
Also, I'm a native English speaker, but I don't speak any other languages.

Have a look at :

- http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/chinese/
But you can get an older copy of "Colloquial Chinese" by Qian Kan on Amazon for $3.50, or used for only $0.01 : http://www.amazon.com/Colloquial-Chinese-Complete-...

If you select to find out Chinese then you should know that Chinese language is without a doubt one of the hardest languages for westerners to understand, and up until now studying to talk Chinese to a level of proficiency outdoors of the classroom surroundings has been nearly extremely hard but not if you pick a course
