Thank you.

And what makes you think that?

mand is not the same as beijing there are many difference in pronuciation between the 2 dialects,

cantanese depends on where you are talking about:

in mainland china everything is simplified, no one use the traditional style except for like religious stuff traditional stuff

but in taiwain they use traditional style... come to think of it your teacher is most likely from there

AND NO it will not eventually die out

Not true, if traditional was only used by religious people and traditional things, then why in the world would the district school board (well at least mine) make you learn traditional instead of simplified? Well actually they use both, but mainly traditional. There are many many places that still use traditional cantonese.

NOT TRUE in china mainland no one use traditional style!! I lived there i know. Your school board did that because they can only get a canto teacher because most chinese immigrants are from tai. no there is not alot of places that still use traditional chinese in china MAINLAND. go ask your teacher if u have to. look on the map taiwain is a little island, nothign compare to mainland

繁<-- this is a word it means complicated/alot
体<-- this is also a word that have many meanings in this case it means style
字<-- and this means word/writing

so put together in english it really means complicated style of writing which means traditional style

I think the communists ruined chinese charecters by making it simplified

future generations cannot read old texts anymore

simplified characters were always there, the communist party just set it to the standard.
