I'm new here, obviously. Anyone want to help me out?

I'm new here too :) But I wouldnt mind having a friend.

AND YOU KNOW CHINESE! :D (or pinyin at least)
Yay haha

What can I help you with? :)

I was in the first Chinese class in my state! I don't really understand how to use this site and reading some of the things are very confusing to me... -.-;

Haha, yeah I'll admit that ^^;; You'll get used to it eventually

Erm, as far as I know, basically

You gain gold by posting, the more you post the more you get. (keep it within the rules though). Using said gold, you can go shopping (shops button at the top) for clothing and dress up your avi any way you'd like.
Forums, like any other chat site, is where you'll meet the other people and chat with them (and gain gold)

Everything else is pretty elementary :P

If its navigation that confuses you, dont worry about it. We'll get used to it :P

What you can also do is apply in the newbie adoption thread. They'r every helpful. I hope that you'll figure stuff out and have fun here.

Danke. Xie xie. Thank you.
