Chinese grammar is easy and there's no tense problems. But it's really hard in speaking(reading) and writing. Coz there's no alphabet in Chinese. Every character is unique. And some of them are pretty similar. (example one) And lots of them are pretty hard to write. (example two) And lots of them you dont even know how to read !!! well, as i mentioned above, im not an english speaker. sorry for my poor english =( EXAMPLE ONE : 清　 倩　 情　 睛　 晴　 靖 鑾 　孿 　變 　戀　 蠻 搜 　叟 　傁　 瘦　 廋 EXAMPLE TWO : 龜　 釁 癟 As a Chinese speaker, I can tell you that it’s super hard for a foreigner to learn Chinese.

But if you are learning how to speak it, it could be easier to watch subbed dramas and listen to music. When I was very young I learning only one type of chinese from my family and that is Taishanese(most ppl havent heard of that language but all well) When I was growing up I started to watch a lot of subbed dramas and listened to a lot of music. Thats when I am fluent in all mandrian cantonese and taishanese. Sometimes if i dont know a word i write it down and ask my parents. In your case one of your friends. from my experience thats the easiest way to enjoy your learning and its fast. My friend is Hmong and she learned that way too. (hope that helped srry for writing so much) I am Chinese, but I’m learning how to read it and it;s extremely hard.
