I made a mistake. I am a Chinese too. Yo también soy de China. If you can write Pinyin(拼音), you can type Chinese characters by using software. |

I have just added a Chinese-language keyboard to my configuration on my computer, which lets me type: 我是美国人。However, I can recognize very few Chinese characters, so often I don't know what character to select when I type, and I usually know only a few characters in any example of Chinese writing. |

People talk about how difficult learning Chinese (I'm assuming Mandarin??) is, but honestly, ALL languages are difficult at first if you have no prior base knowledge. It will become easy for you eventually. Last edited by Sarita08; March 15, 2013 at 08:44 AM. Reason: Removed link |

For instance, Japanese with 3 alphabets; kanji, hiragana & katakana. Or their honorific speech, which is way too exaggerated. I don't say it's impossible, but it requires way more effort than languages like English or Spanish.

Difficulty is subjective ¿no? I have learned several languages from various language groups, including languages that use honorifics. After I understand the basics they don't feel as complicated to learn. I kind of look at each language or language group as having a "code", and once I've cracked that code, similar languages do seem easier.
When people ask me now which language has been the most difficult for me to learn, I have a hard time telling them. Usually I say I don't know. All of them were difficult in the beginning. However, if you were to ask me to start learning Portuguese today, I might tell you it is the easiest language in the world, because its "code" is very similar to Spanish. |
