Why is Chinese difficult
At school, we prove the opposite, although we do not deny that learning Chinese is not easy. We tell you what complicates its study
Tones
Chinese is the language of intonation. Each word and each syllable has its own tone, on which the meaning of the word depends. It takes time to learn how to pronounce tones and understand them by ear
Hieroglyphs
There are no letters in Chinese. Instead, hieroglyphs are used, the study of which may seem difficult and unusual. The final result often depends on the level of visual memory of the student
Few materials
Chinese is not English, there are not so many textbooks and teaching materials for it. This can make learning difficult for beginners if they start learning the language on their own.
All this makes Chinese a difficult language to learn. However, do not forget that in some aspects, Chinese can be easier than English, as we have discussed in this article.
