Learning Chinese

In my mind, Chinese is an extraordinary language in my mind. ;) It's very different from German or English. There are many, many more characters... You have to be careful of the pronounciation pronunciation; otherwise, you may say words you did not want to say. =D
It is not easy to learn this kind of language, but it is more interesting. In the beginning, most people think that it might be impossible to learn; even so, after a while you will recognize: realize that it is possible! You can do it, and you can have a lot fun.
I am still in Germany, so the way of learning is still hard working work. Hopefully, it will become easier after moving to Shanghai, whereas where I am afraid of the Shanghai dialect. I just can only understand very clearly spoken Chinese. Maybe I will learn some words of the Shanghai dialect. I guess it would be funny fun, too.
My motivation is always having to have fun in learning a language; otherwise, I am not able to learn it... ;)
