2. Many people may have experienced the difficulties of learning a new language as
second language, especially for learning Chinese language, because it doesn't look
like any western languages.
My discovery is that learning Chinese language can be easier if you know the
rules. The difficult part is to be persistent in memorizing what you have learned.
For practical use of Chinese language in everyday live, all you need is 2,000
characters for a start. While in English, this amount of words to master before a
person can practically use the language in everyday live can easily go up to 10,000
words. Does it take any commitments for learning a new language? Yes and of
course. It takes tremendous discipline, dedication and years of practices for
completely mastering a new language, and able to communicate fluently with
another person using that language. However, if you apply some specific
techniques to a dedicated purpose of using the language, such as for short term
travelling, you can achieve your goal within a certain time frame.
During my practice of teaching Chinese, I realized the hardest part to learn
Chinese language is to remember the Chinese characters and their pronunciation.
Once you have known enough Chinese characters, able to pronounce them and
understand how to put them into meaningful words, things become much easier
for you. All you need to do is only one thing: keep using the Chinese characters
until you are familiar with how to put them into words and sentences, and learn
more characters at the same time. Therefore, to find the easiest way for
remembering the Chinese characters is a key step to master the language in the
fastest way.
To master the Chinese characters, writing is the hardest part. Luckily a student
can choose to learn the pronunciations first, without learning the writing. This is
usually an advantage for foreign students learning Chinese as their 2nd language,
because it greatly shortens the time to master the vocal skills for everyday
conversation using Chinese. So my recommendation is that if you don't need the
skill of writing Chinese characters you can leave it at the beginning.
Now do you find learning Chinese language is much easier than what you think? I
suppose the answers to must of people are: "Yes, but still not easy enough, the
3. pronunciation parts are still difficult." Let me tell you some hints just to make it
easier. First of all, the alpha bits for pronunciations are represented by Latin
letters, as long as you can remember how the English letters are pronounced in
Latin, you can pronounce each and every Chinese character. Second, there are 4
tones in the pronunciation of Chinese characters, and each character pronounces
1 or 2 of the 4 tones. In a specific sentence, each character has only 1
pronunciation with a specific tone, based on the context of the sentence.
My best advice to learn Chinese language is that you start from learning 1
sentence at a time. For each sentence you learn, aim to remember each Chinese
character: what does it look like, how does it pronounce with the tone, and what
does it mean. And then aim to practice this sentence whenever you can.
Accumulatively if you learn 1 sentence of 7 characters each day, for a year you
can master over 2000 characters, which is enough for basic discussions in
everyday live.
