Chinese Language is easier than you think

Chinese language is not difficult to learn. It might be a challenge to write the Chinese characters, but speaking wise is easier. Chinese language has only 4 tones. It is much easier to learn Chinese than to learn English because the basic word order is subject–verb–object (SVO). You do not need to worry about tense as the Chinese language does not have one. All you need is to remember the time expressions such as 今天 (today), 明天 (tomorrow), 昨天 (yesterday) etc.

Speak, Write and Listen

For you to master a language, you need to speak, write and listen. Instead of listening to English songs, you can choose to listen to Chinese songs or watch a Chinese show online. If you listen to Chinese everyday, you will be able to memorise many Chinese words. This is what I did when learning a new language. 加油!
