Here's the book we use, if that helps.

I'm tempted to say Mandarin also (cause of the book) and because that's what most people learn.

Here, how do you say "thank you"?

Zhe ge shi Han Yu, should be Mandarin haha.

Thank you in Mandarin is "Xie Xie". Shen Nian Kuai Le 

Yeah, most probably it is Mandarin, since it's the Chinese official language.

Learning Chinese is a bit complicated. Been studying it since I was a kid... never really got the hang of it. Need a ton of practice. 

 So many characters and tones to memorize... confusing to say the least.

Writing characters will take a while to learn... then there are the simplified forms of some characters. 

 

What Luong said in traditional Chinese characters (Correct me if I'm wrong... just a bit rusty)

^ You're right, my mistake on the "new", it is "Xin"...

I'm atrocious with tones (on paper), I get pinyin and characters right and my tonemarks are down the drain. Ended up with a B+ because I was too lazy to study them
