How to learn Chinese well
I started to learn Chinese 50 years ago.It only took me nine months to learn this
language well.
Here are my tips on how to learn Chinese.
★ Listen to Mandarin(普通话)as often as possible
The first month or maybe two,just focus on listening.Start learning Chinese by
paying at tten tion to listening.Just get used to the sounds.
★ Spend time in memorizing characters
Once you decide to study Chinese characters,work at them every day.Spend from
half an hour to an hour a day just in learning characters.Why every day?Because you
will forget the characters almost as quickly as you learn them.So you need to remember
them again and again.
★ Read as much as possible
Read a lot.I learnt faster than other students 50 years ago.That's because I read
everything I could get.I read much more than other st tu dents.
★ Speak a lot and don't second-guess yourself
When you speak,don't second-guess yourS self on tones or grammar'of the language.
Just let the mistakes pass.Every time you use the language you are practising and getting
used to it.
