Is Chinese really that difficult to learn?
Chinese is often perceived as a ‘difficult’ language to learn. This is probably due to the tonal nature of spoken Chinese and that the Chinese written script is based on pictographs or characters. However, learning Chinese is actually easier in some respects than learning English – with Chinese, there are no conjugations, no declensions, no different suffixes or prefixes according to singular or plural numbers, gender, tenses as in past, present or future etc. Therefore, grammar is a lot easier with Chinese. Chinese is different from other languages, but not necessarily more difficult. What is easy for one person may be quite challenging for another. With the Accelerated Learning techniques, we have tried to make learning Chinese easier and more fun.
