Many students think study Mandarin Chinese is hard and complicated as the Mandarin writing is hard to memorize and the logic of mandarin speaking is quite different from English or other language. Actually, as a mandarin teacher, I find that this is a common issue that student may face to in initial stage of study. Students have such worries because the mandarin is totally new for a fresh student without any knowledge about it. After one session of mandarin study, most students found the mandarin speaking and writing have the logic to follow about, which help them make their study easier and faster. Therefore, mandarin study is journey that you need to keep on your step and continue to explore more interesting things.
