How to Learn Chinese Well
I started to learn Chinese 50 years ago. It only took me nine months to learn this language well. Here are my tips on how to learn Chinese: ★Listen to Mandarin（普通话）as often as Possible The first month or maybe two, just focus on listening. Start learning Chinese by paying attention to listening. Just get used to the sounds. ★Spend time in Memorizing Characters（熟记汉字） Once you decide to study Chinese characters, work at them every day. Spend half an hour to an hour a day just on learning characters. Why every day? Because you will forget the characters almost as quickly as you learn them, so you need to remember them again and again. ★Read as much as Possible Read a lot. I learned faster than my students 50 years ago, that's because I read everything I could get. I read much more than other students. ★Speak a lot and Don't Second Guess Yourself When you speak, don't second guess yourself on tones（音调）, or grammar of the language. Just let the mistakes pass. Every time you use the language you are practicing and getting used to it.
