My opinion on learning Chinese I know that nowadays, many people all over the world are becoming interested in Chinese language and the culture. But learning Chinese isn't easy. Chinese is rather different from other languages, including its characters and pronunciations. And most importantly, the language consists the culture, which is also different from many other cultures. So how do the Chinese learners learn Chinese? In my opinion, firstly, they should work hard on the pronunciations, which are hard to pronounce right. When you visit China, maybe you can do fine even you juts know how to speak Chinese in pinyin. In conclusion, the first step is to correct your ways of pronouncing. When learning a new character, you should know how it should be pronounced right, then you should remember how to write it right. So memorizing the orders of Chinese characters is an important step. Do not think it's a waste of time to memorize the right writing orders. When you are done, you will write beautiful Chinese, or else, the writing could be ugly actually. Try to learn words with translation. Only learning every single character isn't enough. You should combine the characters to words and phrases. Then you could try to make sentences by words. If the grammar is wrongly used, check the grammar book later. Don't fear of making mistakes!
