A question about this place:
Alright more questions... Is mandarin the language I should be learning to go to China? I'm confused which language to attempt learning! Can anyone offer online tuition for me in return for much gratitude? I am in the 'sticks' and need help!

Mandarin is spoken in most of China (especially the North) and it’s the official language of China.
Cantoneese is spoken in southern China (and hong kong). If you go to a cantoneese speaking place chances are they will understand English (more used to foreigners) so Mandarin is a safe bet. Sorry can’t help you with the lessons If I know 5 sentences I know a lot there :) .
good luck with your trip.
