Unlike what you think, Chinese is the simplest language in the world and easy to learn. To give you more confidence, 3 pieces of good news. As an American, you will need to know over 20,000 English words in your lifetime, but as a Chinese, even if you want to get a PhD, knowing 3,500 Chinese characters will be enough. slowly The normal rate of speech for English is 300 syllables per minute, and the normal rate of speech for Chinese is 150 syllables per minute. Chinese is spoken at half the speed of English. Chinese people speak more slowly than people in most places on earth. Therefore, Chinese is easier to understand and easier to speak. Grammar The third good news is that you don't have to learn grammar. At least Chinese people don't learn grammar, and even those Chinese writers have never learned grammar. Chinese is really easy. why do they think Chinese is hard? Because they don't learn Chinese like Chinese people do. Chinese is very special. If you learn Chinese the same way you learn other languages, then Chinese is very difficult. For example. When we try to remember an English word, or a French word, or an Arabic word, we are remembering the meaning of the word. But Chinese people never need to memorize the meaning of a Chinese character , they need to memorize the pronunciation of the Chinese word. When a Chinese person asks another Chinese person, “Do you know this character? He is asking “do you know the pronunciation of this character“ In other languages, word is the smallest unit. In Chinese, Chinese characters are the smallest unit. Many people who study Chinese care about how many words they know. In fact, in China, people only care about how many Chinese characters they know. Chinese characters are the unique genes of Chinese, which make Chinese unique. So, we have to learn Chinese like Chinese people do. Where to start? From Chinese characters? From pinyin? No, Chinese people learn Chinese from their bodies. If you had a little baby, what would you say to it? With babies, we're always talking about the body, like the mouth, the ears, the hands, the legs, etc. We know the whole world through our bodies. And language is the description of the whole world. Now let's start learning Chinese by recognizing the body. We will practice listening in Chinese over the next few weeks to help you listen and understand Chinese. You can repeat this exercise. The goal is that when you hear a Chinese word, you will immediately know what it means. Note that you just know what I mean, don't translate it into your own language. Listening training must be the first step in learning Chinese. The correct order of learning Chinese is: listening, speaking, reading, writing. This is the order in which human beings learn language. Think about whether you learn your native language from listening too. If we don't follow this order, we are going against the natural order, and going against the natural order will not lead to good results. I know people who start learning Chinese with Pinyin, which allows them to learn Chinese pronunciation very quickly. But after that, they run into a lot of big problems, such as problems with tones and Chinese characters. If you start learning Chinese from speaking or reading, you may be able to speak a few sentences of Chinese and know a few Chinese characters very quickly. But after that you will encounter some unsolvable problems and your Chinese will improve more and more slowly. It's very important to learn Chinese from listening.
