Speak DECENT CHINESE in 4 months - 8 easy tips

______

1. Have someone to guide you to get good pronunciation habits. It is almost impossible to re-learn bad habits later so make sure you get your pronunciation right from the beginning. I mean the pronunciation of the sounds, not the tones. Tones take more time to get used to and you can't rush it - but try the best you can. Some tutors don't bother too much about the pronunciation so make sure you find someone who is strict about that, you will be grateful later. Also get confident in pinyin, you will need it.

2. Understand the composition of the sentences. The word order is super easy and it stays the same all the time (the question and informative sentences have the same word order). I have a formula for the word order but I won't reveal it here, it is one of the secrets I keep for my students and people who use my materials.

3. Understand that there are no tenses in the sense we think about them in English and other languages. Learn to express future, potential future, finished action, change of state, experience in the past and circumstances of the event. See the difference between action verbs and verbs of state.

4. Learn to use modal verbs and conjuctions.

5. Build usable vocabulary based on the fact that everything in Chinese is interconnected.

6. Understand 就，才，的 and 得

7. Don't learn grammar rules and words separately. Learn functional practical sentences that will serve you as examples of the grammar structures (then you just need to change the words in these sentences).

8. Develop your listening skills - that is very important. For that there are Youtube channels and podcasts on Spotify (and in my materials the audio part also plays an important role). You can listen to Chinese radio stations just to get the feeling of the language.

______

After 3-4 months you should feel pretty confident in normal conversations if you study regularly under competent guidance.

Mandarin has been incredibly inspiring to me for over 15 years now.

It has been enriching my life.

This picture tries to capture my gratitude.

Can you find the word 生活 /shēnghuó/ inside the picture?

And can you find the English word LIFE?

4 tips for your fast adoption of any language

1. Learn whole sentences instead of isolated words

our brain stores only useful things and we communicate in sentences, not in words

2. Learn the sentences by heart

superficial browsing through materials doesn't get people anywhere, it is a waste of time

3. Be active

try to translate the stuff from your real life instead of relying on your textbook all the time

4. Have FUN with the language

there are many fun and engaging resources

for students of Chinese there is an amazing site with countless wordplays

机器人 /jīqìrén/ ROBOT

In Chinese the word consists of 机器 /jīqì/ A MACHINE + 人 /rén/ PERSON.

The type is original Chineseffect font and it also comes from Czech Republic :)

信 /xìn/ is a concept of TRUST. We see A PERSON 亻standing behind his WORDS 言 - therefor being TRUSTWORTHY

相信 /xiāngxìn/ TO BELIEVE (mutually trust)

自信 /zìxìn/ SELF-CONFIDENCE

___

Where does genuine self-confidence come from?

Some people would tell you that you gain self-confidence once you master the art of convincing speech-giving, body language etc.. That is what we can call FAKE-confidence.

True SELF-confidence comes from knowing what we truly are. We gain this knowledge gradually by guiding our focus inwards from all possible distractions around us and by gently opening our hearts to all our mental and emotional garbage, obstacles and fears.

It is rather sad that the most important festival in Western culture is based on a lie; therefore, it is empty in nature.

We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, which, as the Catholic Church always knew and now even admits, happened during the summer!

Why do we celebrate it now?

Because the church needed to get rid of the "pagan" festival - Winter Solstice, which celebrated our connection to the natural rhythm of Nature.

Now, most people don't even know that there is Winter Solstice :/

No wonder that so many people feel disconnected and depressed, as it is totally essential to feel connected to the world around us.

Anyway, things are as they are; complaining won't get us anywhere.

Enjoy this time of family reunion (if you want to reunite), and next year, give your attention to the Sun.

I guarantee that your feeling during the holidays will be different.

Merry XMAS! (I write XMAS intentionally because there is no connection to Christ whatsoever.)
