hey..everyone.
I am new here and from china.I found this website by search of google.there are a lot interesting things here.even I find so much chinese lessones in this website.that's really helpful for the people who want to learn chinese.
About me,I have been learning English for one year by myself.I found this "difficulty" language is very sexy.now I am interesting in the western culture,especially movies,musics,sports..etc. in fact,I found a way to learn English here.hmm...I can listen to the simple chinese dialogs,and I found it means in English.so I can leaning chinese(actually,I am good at it) and english at the same time.even if I am still a beginner of English.but I think I can learn it better in the near future.as you learn chinese.
hey,my grammar still bad,let's go ahead..
I have choosen an academic aproach to study Chinese.
First set the goal. In my case that is to pass the HSK test next summer. That would require around 1000 Chinese words. To learn those i use many sources.
- Chinesepod for listening
- New practical Chinese reader books for grammar, tests, reading and writing.
- Software ,chinese homework trainer for drilling words and characters, dicttionary, strokeorders etc.
- The chinese comunity here in Gothenburg, Sweden, for talking.
This combined makes it relatively easy to study.
I am aiming to learn 5 new words per day. When learning those i place them in an practice list in the software and then starts drilling. My number one tool when learning to write the characters is my lapwhiteboard. That is A4 sized thin paper white board where i can write my characters and then whipe themout and redo it. I like to write the characters large at first since they in that way stick in myhead. After that i write them in more actual size, many, many times.
Every weekend i repeat all old words that i already have learned so that they stick even harder to my weak brain.
Since I am relatively often in Asia i have bought a lot of Chinese books, films etc. I use them to practice my reading. They have the simple stuctures that i can read and not feel stuid about. Newspapers are still to hard at this point.
Every day when i ride my bike to work i listen to Chinesepod, each chapter twice. At home i type in the new words and key sentences in the software for practice and future review.
When i found words with combined charcters, I look up each individua character to learn them at the same time. I use on line dicitoanries to find key sentences with those characters.
This summer i actualy build my own Chinese garden at home with water, bamboo granit chairs etc. There i like to sit in the evenings and write my characters. That is realy good for the motivation.
So, that is my aproach.
An amazing dictionary that I bought is the "Pocket Mandarin Chinese Dictionary." It has both Chinese-English and English-Chinese. It contains the 3,000 most commonly used words in the language, which I find useful because it allows you to focus on the foundations of the language and essential vocabulary. Usually, if I want to say something and I don't know how, the word will be in this dictionary. Rarely do I need to use words that are not in this book. Check it out!

So you wanna learn Mandarin Chinese huh? You couldn't have chosen a better language to study! Besides being spoken by BILLIONS of people the world over, Mandarin Chinese is also becoming ever more necessary in business, and speaking it will also connect you to one of the world's most ancient and interesting cultures! Here are 3 important things that will go a long way in helping you to learn Mandarin Chinese!
Learn Mandarin Chinese - Tip #1 - Focus on the Tones!
Chinese is a tonal language. This means that words with the same sound can have totally different meanings depending on their tone, or pitch.
Learn Mandarin Chinese - Tip #2 - Don't Forget Reading and Writing!
A question I hear quite a bit from students of Chinese is, "Do we really need to learn to read and write the characters?" The answer is YES! And the sooner you start learning to read and write Chinese, the better.
Learn Mandarin Chinese - Tip #3 - Listen, Listen, Listen!
When learning a tonal and analytic language such as Mandarin Chinese, you need to expose yourself to the sound of the spoken language as much as possible. At first, native speakers' speech will sound as if it is coming at you a mile a minute. However, the more you expose your ears and brain to the sound, it will start to slow down. You'll be able to pick out words and phrases at first, then complete sentences and thoughts.
