"why" in Chinese is "为什么",Chinese pinyin(phonetics) is "wei shen me".You can't "spell" words in chinese, unless you are referring to pinyin. There are "characters" that you have to memorize instead.

Chinese, Japanese and Korean all use Chinese characters for words, but each of these languages use them a bit differently. All three of these languages also can use Arabic numerals or Chinese characters to write numbers. Korean and Japanese languages share many commonalities in grammar and structure. Although Korean and Japanese use a lot of Chinese characters in writing, these two languages are drastically different from Chinese.

The best way for a person to learn Chinese words in English is to purchase a translation book. The book will show all the words, meaning, and how to write the words.
Learning pronunciation is an important basis for learning a language. Having a teacher who can speak standard Chinese is the first step. The good and correct guidance is important and then you should have more practice. You want to know the tone. Intonation is not the focus when you learn the pronunciation stage. You should pay more attention to the tone.
if you want to learn only one pleasant word in Chinese, learn the word 'hao3', which means good.

Second, I recommend that you should find some Chinese cartoons which watched by the preschools children. it is also important for you to learn Chinese.
In Chinese, nouns typically don't change form to indicate plurality. Plurality is usually indicated by context, quantifiers, or specific words used before the noun. For example, to specify plural you might use "们" (men) following a pronoun, or a quantifier like "些" (xiē) before a noun.

hi, Chinese and spanish are two totally different languages. they can be learnt together, but the possibility of getting confused with the pronunciations and words are always there.
When you start to learn Chinese, I suggest to learn the Characters at first, not just learn the pinyin. Learning Chinese characters includes four parts, listening, speaking, reading and writing, involving various content of single character, word, sentence and article. As a beginner, learning Chinese characters is the foundation. I recommend MagiChinese, an app can help beginners to master the basic Chinese characters quickly, while providing the subsequent learning content of words and sentences.
This is a trick question. There is no such thing as a Chinese alphabet. Chinese uses a pictographic system. In China they don't have letters, they just have words, so there is a different symbol for each word....this is why it is extremely difficult to learn Chinese because you have to memorize so many symbols.
