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.<\/p>\n<p>Most 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<h2>The Grammar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1stopasia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Chinese-for-British-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese for British\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Chinese-for-British-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Chinese-for-British.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>English 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. The 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.<\/p>\n<p>When 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, \u2018zhang\u2019 because those objects all have a flat surface.<\/p>\n<h2>The Characters<\/h2>\n<p>More 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.<\/p>\n<h2>The Pronunciation<\/h2>\n<p>Proper 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<p>What you can do with the Chinese level you\u2019ve reached:<\/p>\n<p>You 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, most people would agree that learning Mandarin Chinese is essential, not only because it is the most widely spoken language on the planet (44% of the world population), but also because the Chinese economy is expanding greatly day by day and is on the way to becoming the most powerful economy on the planet&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/blog\/is-chinese-hard-to-master-for-british-people\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Is Chinese Hard to Master for British People?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11288,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[217,111],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-translation-and-localization","category-industry-related"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is Chinese Hard to Master for British People?
