How difficult is it to learn Chinese?
We bet everyone has told you how difficult Chinese is. The fact is: learning a language, ANY language, is hard. If you’re going to go through all that work anyways you might as well be able to tell people that “you speak Chinese”. In fact, we don’t think learning Chinese is much worse than learning German or French (and it sounds so much cooler). Chinese has no tense, no subject-verb agreement and no gender. Learning to read the characters is difficult, but Pin Yin is no harder than learning to read any western language and the characters have roots that repeat. The thing that makes Chinese seem so difficult for Westerners is just that it’s so different from any language that we know, but that’s the beauty of it! Learning Chinese is challenging but it’s also one of the most rewarding learning experiences you’ll ever have. You’ll never know until you try!
