(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 03, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA - The number of people who are interested about how to learn Mandarin is huge, but only a few of those people are really able to learn this language. Learning Chinese is not that easy, and 95% of people that begin to study this language renounce it after a few days. However, considering the growing number of European and American companies having business connections with Chinese companies, and the incredible culture and civilization of this country, learning Mandarin is surely useful.
People who know how to learn Mandarin say that this language is poetic and fascinating, even if it seems pretty difficult at the beginning. A language, before anything else, represents a culture. This is why, if people have Chinese business partners, they will have to learn their language if they want to gain their respect. The Chinese people are usually proud of their origin, and they have the ultimate respect for their culture and country. If people are able to speak their language, they will gain their admiration, especially because they know how hard it is for an English native speaker to read and write in this language.
One would need about one year to learn the Mandarin language passively (to listen without speaking), and another year to speak Mandarin at a conversational level. Fortunately, the people that want to know how to speak Mandarin benefit from the large number of resources available on the Internet. In fact, the majority of people who are able to speak Mandarin at “tourist level” used the online resources without a teacher. Learning foreign languages without a teacher is now a common method even for complicated languages such as Mandarin, and the e-learning methods make this process even easier.
While the Europeans and Americans need a lot of time to learn the Chinese language, it is about the same with Chinese people who want to speak in European languages. This proves that those languages are completely different, and this is where the difference is made. Even if French and English have different origins, at least they have the same alphabet, and the phonetic and grammatical rules are about the same. On the other hand, there is a major difference between the European and Asian languages, including Chinese, from all the points of view, including the alphabet, the rules of constructing the words and the speaking methods.
If someone wants to know how to learn Mandarin, they will have to start by speaking. The complicated Chinese alphabet is only learned after one or two years of speaking the language. While it is difficult, it is also fascinating. If someone is wondering how it is possible for a language to have an alphabet composed of 500 characters, they need to know that those characters are not practical letters. They are groups of letters, complete words, and sometimes phrases. For example, some characters mean “tree”, “forest”, and there is even a character that means “house near the forest”. This is why learning this language is so complicated, but as soon as one is able to understand those techniques, they will be able to learn the language a lot easier.
