      There are many factors in teaching yourself to speak Japanese . One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Japanese Magic Method (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the no.1 remedy that I've heard of. Check out all the extraordinary info .

    Chinese is hard. Yes. Each word stands for multiple meanings in fact.
    The only way to really improve is to learn VOCABULARY. Compared to many other languages, the grammar is quite simple. Subject-Verb-Object. That’s all that’s necessary. Vocab is hard to remember, but once you get them in your head, you WILL be able to speak Chinese properly.
    Good luck everybody!

      I get what you mean. I naturally understand quantum physics because it explains something to me that is in my schema, likewise with this language (although I am a native English speaker) but I can understand your point: because it seems very different and because it involves starting without preconceptions, it can seem hard to learn when we already have a hardwired schema, eg English language. I find in those circumstances it's best to imagine you are a blank slate, like imagine you are a child or aware but don't know anything yet, and then listen with open interest and let it sink in. You can understand anything in the Universe this way. I hope that is helpful.

      @@yourdaddyonceler1239 thats not really how it works lol, Korean no longer uses the Hanja script system which used the Chinese characters or sino-korean. King Sejong The Great and his scholars changed the writing system completely in the 15th century as the country had high rates of illiteracy and he thought it would be better if the system was simpler, hence why they changed it from a logography to a segmental script. Japanese still uses a script related to Chinese but learning Chinese would only help you in writing it because naturally they're pronounced differently, have different meanings, and in some cases are written differently.

Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face.

    2:30 There is a good thing in Chinese: You'll never need to care about person or tense. For example, whatever you're using "am" "is" or "are". They all equal to 是(shì). So when you speak "I am a student" "You are a student" and "He is a student" in Chinese. You don't need to care about how it changes. You just need to say "I 'shi' a student" "You 'shi' a student" and "He 'shi' a student".
    Update: There are 5 words for third person singular in Chinese.
    "他", to express "he",
    "她", to express "she",
    "它", to express "it",
    "祂", to express gods or something sacred,
    "牠", to express livestocks.
    They are all read as "ta". You dont need to care about it when speaking. If you dont know ta"s gender you can just say ta ... .

    Lemme put y’all on something:
    (Ignore the “e” it’s just the things on top)
    ē means say it neutrally/monotone
    é means say it like a question
    ê (imagine it upside down) means say it with a dip like a curve
    è means say it like sternly or low key angrily
    This is important cus the Chinese language is based off of tones and depending on how you say a certain thing can influence what it actually means

    The highest hydrance is the focus on getting everything perfect.

    • @paullangton-rogers2390
      @paullangton-rogers2390 2 года назад +1

      Don't worry so much about perfection, just write down phrases and practice to remember how characters and words are sounded.. the more you use a language the better you'll get at pronouncing it more correctly over time.. Chinese speakers don't speak English well most Chinese tend to simplify sentences in broken English and don't sound words exactly right, yet we can understand them still.. so it is with Chinese if you can at least say the words even imperfectly Chinese people will understand you still..
      I learned Ni Hao many years ago just by continually repeating it and now it's just stuck. And that really impresses Chinese people when you can at least greet them in their language.
      I also remembered that x words and names in Chinese which are common have a 'shee' sound. President Xi = President She. Anglicise the Chinese spelling in your head to Anglician phonetics and Chinese starts to get a whole lot easier.

      Un profe de lingüística me dijo que el castellano y el japonés eran lenguas "ametralladora": takatakataka.
      Por lo poco que se por el momento, la gramática china es más simple que la del japonés, y hasta que del inglés. El japonés parece bastante complicado, lleno de prefijos y sufijos y reglas.

The vowels AIUEO are pronounced almost the same as in spanish, and the same for other groups of characters like ka, ga, ta, da, sa, na, pa, ba, etc. I mean, just by reading "Anata no namae wa?" or "Gakko ni kuruma de ikimashita" (in romaji of course), an average spanish speaker would pronounce it almost as it is correctly pronounced in japanese...

    To me, The shortest way to learn Chinese is following:
    1. Learn pinyins
    2. Learn basic strokes
    3. Learn how to decompose characters
    4. Learn Chinese radicals
    5. Learn tones.
    6. Start HSK-1
    This channel can help you a lot for first five points and to some extent 6th one as it's going on. The important of all these is point 3,decomposition of characters. If you don't know how to decompose, you'll feel extreme difficulties while proceeding.
