To learn Chinese, we』ve got some tips here for you to look at:
▼
從現在就開始閱讀！
Read : doing it right!
許多外國人認為認讀漢字很困難,甚至從未嘗試過怎麼學習。確實，拼音對你的中文發音很有用，但是我們更加強調認讀漢字的重要性，這樣你的漢語會說的更好。
Many foreigners think that reading Chinese characters is so difficult and even have never tried learning how to do it. Indeed, Pinyin is useful for you to pronounce the words, but we highly stress the need to read characters, so you can speak well.
最重要的是從現在開始認真去學習。只會拼音並不會讓你在學習中文的道路上一帆風順，堅持是克服困難的關鍵，很快你就會對你認識到的漢字數量感到驚訝，你會發現你對周圍的事物有更深的理解，你會用漢語了解更多的事物。
Things that are worth doing are worth doing it right. Pinyin will not get you very far. Persistence is key, and soon you will be surprised by how many characters you can recognize and you find that you gain a deeper understanding to the things around you and everything around you makes sense.
聽：在音調上下功夫！
Listening: working on the tones!
當你的中文越來越好時,你自己會強烈的感覺到：音調真的很重要！一些漢字或單詞可能起來很相似,但是他們是兩種完全不同的意思。這也就解釋了為什麼周圍的人對你想說的總是很困惑。
As your Chinese is getting better and better, one thing you keep telling yourself is that tones are so damn important! Some characters or words may sound alike, but they are two totally different things. This also explains why people in China are totally confused with what you are trying to say.
所以當你在練習聽力時，學習材料的停頓和對聲音和音調的模仿，你將會注意到自己的發音有什麼不同，並改正。
對於許多學生來說，更有效的方法是，每天有效聽15分鐘比在一天內用3小時把一個星期的內容聽完來說，效率更高。
So when you are listening to the learning materials pause and imitate the voices and tones, which will helps you to tell the difference.
What works for many Chinese learners is that it is more effective to listen for 15minutes on a daily basis than to keep listening for 3hours one day in a week.The efficiency of you mentality is higher in a shorter period.
寫作：多用手寫
Writing: write with your hand!
中國的科技發展很快，人們每天發簡訊或者列印文件，而不是手寫。拼音已經很方便了，但是做手寫練習更可靠和重要。
The technology is here in China, people text messages or type letters all day and Pinyin is easier to remember, but practice in a dependable way is equally important.
學習如何寫漢字可以打開語言學習和了解文化的大門，中國人將發現到你可以用筆寫出漢字，和那些還沒準備好學習中國文化的人來說，他們會更喜歡你。
Learning how to write opens up a door to the huge part of the language and expose you to the culture. Chinese people will recognize that you are able to write with your hand and prefer you over a person who hasn’t decided to learn their culture.
說：隨它去吧！
Speaking: let those broken Chinese go!
中國有各種不同的口音和方言，許多老人發音不標準，隨它去吧。你發現你的音調和他們的音調不一樣，這是很正常的事情，沒有關係，只要在音調上下功夫就行。
China has a huge variety of different accents and dialects, many old people pronounce this language improperly, just let it go. It happens a lot that you find yourself are not at the same room with them, it doesn’t matter, just keep working on the tones.
堅持才是關鍵
The changing influence on the way: persistence is key
學習中文可以獲得更廣泛的人際關係和更好的機遇，也會學到另一種思維方式。它可以很好的訓練你的大腦，就像肌肉一樣，如果你不使用它，就等於是在浪費它。
Learning Chinese opens up new doors to different relationships and opportunities, and introduces in another way of thinking. It trains your brain as well, just like muscles, if you don’t use it, you waste it.
中文學起來並不容易，你可能會發現你身處迷宮永遠走不出來，但是這絕對是值得嘗試並且正確的事情。
Chinese is not an easy language to learn for its format made up of characters is so unique. You may find yourself way around a maze and never get out there, but it’s definitely worth trying and doing it right.
