  1. 5 TIPS TO ACE 5 TIPS TO ACE CHINESE CHINESE LANGUAGE LANGUAGE Since you've arrived to this page, you're either learning or considering learning Chinese. You will eventually reach your target, sooner or later, if you continue to put your time and effort in it and do not abandon it halfway. However, we hope that it will be "sooner" for you! That's why we've put together the following 8 tried-and-true methods for learning Chinese faster and more effectively. Have fun reading!

  2. TIP 1: ASSESS YOUR REQUIREMENTS, SELECT A GOAL, AND DETERMINE THE QUICKEST ROUTE TO YOUR DESTINATION. Consider the following questions and their answers: why do I want to study Chinese? What is my driving force? Are you considering acquiring language skills to tap into the far east market's business or career chances now that China has surpassed Japan and developed swiftly to become the world's second largest economy? Do you like to go deeper into this unique ancient oriental culture and unravel the mystery surrounding the intriguing characters? Do you want to prepare yourself with a new mindset and a new way of looking at the world? or perhaps for a more straightforward reason: you intend to travel around Greater China on your own, without the assistance of an English-speaking tour guide?

  3. TIP 2: LEARN THE BASICS AND FOUNDATIONS OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE You must be aware of the most significant differences between Chinese and English (or other alphabetic languages). Are we talking about Mandarin or Cantonese when we speak Chinese? What are the differences between them? Where are these two languages (or dialects, as the case may be) spoken? Which version should I learn first? How do the Chinese write if they don't have an alphabet? Why are there two sets of characters (Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified)? What is the relationship between the ideographic text and the phonetic letters? What is the Pinyin system, and how does it work? How many characters must I learn in order to become fluent in Chinese? Are there any reputable training institutions or online APPs that could help me learn faster, more efficiently, and with less effort?

  4. TIP 3: START WITH PINYIN AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE MORE COMPLICATED CHARACTERS Many people find the Chinese characters to be attractive, with a distinct aura of oriental mysticism, and are eager to begin their learning process by learning to read or write these hieroglyphic symbols. We admit that this may have been the initial incentive for many people to study Chinese, but please be aware that, despite the apparent strong motivation, this isn't the greatest or fastest way to acquire a new language, especially one as difficult as Chinese.

  5. TIP 4: BEFORE READING THE BOOK, LEARN A FEW SPOKEN CHINESE PHRASES FOR EVERYDAY COMMUNICATION. According to the "Second Language Acquisition" idea, voice (audio) signals activate the language centres in our brains before text (visual) impulses. In learning / acquiring a foreign language (Chinese Mandarin in our case), text reading may help you build up the knowledge about the language, but only verbal sounds can really help you get the feel about how this new language is used. So, speaking/listening are always prioritized over the reading/writing.

  6. TIP 5: START LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE A FEW BASIC CHINESE CHARACTERS. Yes, once you've mastered the Pinyin and tones and are able to pronounce a few dozens of verbal sentences in Mandarin, you'll need to start working on the tough task of learning the famous ideographic symbols. An average Chinese person's vocabulary is around 4,000 characters, which is sufficient to read most newspapers, financial reports, and mobile phone user instructions without consulting a dictionary. You don't have to be intimidated by that large undertaking; for starters, you only need to learn to distinguish a few hundred of the most commonly used ones.
