| Jianshuo is quite right, dialects in china vary greatly from region to region..esp south or southeast dialects..people find it hard to understand eachother even they are just from neighbor towns...and people there in general speak a kind of manderin with southern accent...sounds pretty sweet and gentle esp when girls speak ! ... To master any language is not a piece of cake I think ... as long as you work hard !!... of course with the help of interest you'll manage it faster ^ ^ ... What I conclude from many complaints about the difficulty of chinese learning are in general 2 things .. 1, the pronounciation is hard (mainly because of the 4 tones)... 2, the characters are hard to remember ... these are the 2 main heavy tasks you need to handle well as a beginner ... as for the grammar ... compared with grammars of other languages ... chinese grammar is really not such a pain ... trust me, you'll be much relieved as you go on and on with chinese ... :) |
