Mandarin is increasing in populiarity because of the China is getting stronger and stronger and take a more and more important role in the world, also beacause of its long history and and exotic culture. Some people think mandarin is the most difficult language to master. Well, as an experienced and prefessional mandarin teacher, I'm presenting few points here to preove that mandarin is not that difficult.
1.Pronunciation
Like other languages, Chinese also has a alphabit whoese pronunciation is gererally very similar to the world language English. The only difference is that Chinese is a tonal language and it has four tones which is not so hard to master through practice
2. Characters and words
Chinese syllable is represent by characters and some people may think that it's hard to write Chinese characters.Well, actually you don't need to know how to write Chinese characters if you just want to speak Chinese. You just need to recoganize them, but Chinese calligraphy is a kind of art and a lot of foreigner may be very interested in learning it.
Since Chinese syllables are represent by characters and each characters may never change, so Chinese words doesn't have any changes,such nouns from singular to plural and verbs change their forms in difference tenses and so on.
3. Grammar
Chinese grammar is a lot easier English and many other languages for there's no tenses, no changes of verb forms in Chinese which is acheived by adding a specific particle(character) to the sentence. So you just need to memorize the function of some specific particles. You don't have to change the form the verb in every sentence.In Chinese, you just need to know one particle for each grammar point.

With the fast developement of China, mandarin Chinese is becoming more and more popular in the world. My question to those who are learning Chinese is "Do you think Chinese is too difficult to learn?" and "Compared with your native language, which one you think is more difficult?"
