Re:please help
You can get him to help you by pointing to things and saying,
Juh! Shr! shunmuh? (zhe4 shi4 shen2me -- what is this?). Remembeer that Chinese is a tonal language so the tone of voice you use is very important. If your voice doesn't come down on the first two words and then go up on the last one, you may end up saying something very different from what you intended.
Be sure to pay attention to the tones he uses when he tells you the words for things, and remember to use them when you say the names also.
Have fun!

Re:please help
wait, you need to know what LANGUAGE he speaks though. I don't think chinese is a language because there's like over 200 hundred languages in chinese. like mandarin, taiwonese, and a whole bunch of others. you need to know what pecific language he speaks.
