There is an nging effrt t mdernize the writing system and standardize the language.An increasing number f peple learning Chinese are learning the Mandarin, s unless yu abslutely need t learn anther dialect (such as Cantnese), be sure yu are studying Mandarin.
Fr native English speakers Chinese is ne f the mst difficult and mst different languages t learn.The vcabulary is whlly unfamiliar and unlike anything we knw.In additin, in the Chinese tne system, wrds are spken in rising r falling tnes, which help t distinguish between them.Furthermre, there is the Chinese writing system — a cllectin f thusands f individual idegrams (表意文字), r symbls, which represent a wrd r an idea.These idegrams have n phnetic value — that is t say, we can't tell hw the wrd is prnunced by hw it is written.There is a methd t present written Chinese in a phnetic script called pinyin.If yu are learning Chinese, yu'll be wrking with this pinyin system, but the beauty f the traditinal writing system shuldn't be passed up.All these factrs make learning Chinese difficult fr us.Yet, fr a determined learner, there's always a way t vercme it.
