Gong Xi Fa Cai

[Gong Xi Fa Cai!]

Gong xi fa cai, everyone! Or gong hei fat choi, gung hay fat choy, khiong hie fat choy, or any other way you might want to transliterate the Cantonese pronounciation. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s the lunar new year, as celebrated by the Chinese. I hope you’re all wearing red today, kids. Have a happy and prosperous year of the horse!

So is “Gong xi fa cai” the closest transliteration to the Cantonese? 2)How does one say Happy New Year in Mandarin?
3)Does anyone know where Mandarin (speaking and writing) is taught to foreigners in Los Angeles?
Happy New Year!
