But this language is as widely spread among people as it is impossible to master. However, do not give up because of prejudice. Follow the example of those who have already learned it.
\nMost British students enjoy studying foreign languages. This comes as a great advantage when learning Mandarin Chinese. Of course, there are a lot of people who will find it hard to learn. After all, Chinese is not the first foreign language choice in the UK, and easier languages like German, French and Spanish are often preferred.<\/p>\n

\nEnglish grammar is often considered easy, and so is Chinese. A simple Chinese sentence consists of a subject, a predicate and an object. For example, \u201cI wash my hands\u201d would be \u6211 Wo (I) \u6d17 xi (wash) \u624b shou (hands) in Chinese. Chinese grammar is even simpler than English in some ways. Chinese language does not have different forms for singular \/ plural nouns, or forms based on gender. The two languages are pretty different, but you can still find a connection between them.
\nWhen it comes to differences, Chinese is known to have a lot of \u201cmeasure\u201d words, unlike European languages. Measure words in Chinese are used in a similar way to English words like \u201cpiece\u201d in the phrase \u201ca piece of paper\u201d, or \u201cloaf\u201d in \u201ca loaf of bread\u201d. Although there are usually different measure words for different objects, objects of the same kind or with similar characteristics use the same measure words. For instance, \u7eb8 zhi (paper), \u62a5\u7eb8 baozhi (newspaper), \u7167\u7247 zhaopian (photo), \u753b\u513f huar (painting) and \u90ae\u7968 youpiao (stamp) share the measure word \u5f20 zhang (piece). Even \u5e8a chuang (bed) uses the same measure word, ‘zhang’, because those objects all have a flat surface.<\/p>\n
\nMore differences come to mind when we speak about characters. Let\u2019s take \u4eba (ren) for example. A single \u4eba means a person, a human being. Two \u4eba make a new character, \u4ece (cong), which means to follow (one person followed by another person). Three \u4eba make \u4f17, which means the masses or a crowd. Likewise, a single \u6728 means a tree or wood. Two \u6728 make \u6797, meaning woods. Three \u6728 make \u68ee, which means a forest. We can build more complex Chinese characters by learning the basic components and single-structure characters\u2019 step by step.

\nPronunciation:<\/strong>
\nProper pronunciation is hard for native English speakers at first. But you can overcome this with a lot of practice, and most people get comfortable with it in a few months.<\/p>\n
\nYou can master everyday vocabulary related to buying food, reading newspapers, making appointments, etc. in about six months. If you keep studying for a year, you can directly enter a Chinese university. And if you want to master Chinese to the point of being able to use it for translations \u2013 then the opportunities will be infinite.
