Some Suggestions for foreign Learners of

Chinese对外国人学习汉语的几点建议

If you are a foreigner who are especially interested in Chinese, and determined to learn Chinese well, here is my advice for you to learn Chinese.

First of all, I suggest that you first learn Chinese in your country, going to a university or a training institution. If it is more suitable for you to learn via network, online learning is a good choice.

Of course, you have to study hard, including Chinese grammar, sentence structure, new words, etc. You must learn them by heart, and try to communicate with your Chinese friends, though in simple Chinese, it is also a kind of exercise. In order to write wonderful emails, you have to look up the dictionary for more words regularly.

Chinese people will be ready to help those foreigners who are learning Chinese. So you can know a lot of Chinese friends through language learnign.

You have to create an environment and get involved in Chinese culture for yourself to learn Chinese, instead staying in your own English environment.

It is recommended that the local dialects of the place you want to go in China should be close to standard Chinese, not like Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong dialects, which are quite different from standard Chinese, commonly called Mandarin.

Your friends in China should be almost Chinese who can't speak English, so your Chinese will be improved very quickly.

You can teach English in your spare time in China, so you can also earn the money for learning Chinese. In your learning Chinese, whenever you meet unknown words, you should write them down in the notebook, then look up the dictionary, and sort out
