To everyone who are reading this: hello and welcome.
Since China is one of the world's most formidable countries, it's no wonder that interest in China and the Chinese language is growing constantly. Many people avoid starting to learn Chinese because they think it will be too difficult. However, despite appearances, Chinese is not a particularly difficult language to master. Many people have said that the characters are scary and difficult to recall at first look. But as you'll see during the semester and as I'll keep emphasizing, the Chinese letters are visually not all that different from one another. It will be much easier to keep track of everyone's whereabouts and activities if we talk about the ties that bind them together throughout our session.
Approximately one hundred common Chinese phrases are my target number of words to teach you in this series. The repetition of seeing the words you've learned in context will help you retain and use the vocabulary. This is one of the greatest advantages of learning a language with sentences, since you will have a lot easier time comprehending what others are saying. We will also study conversational sentences, so that you may use the phrases we learn directly from the stories or similar words while speaking with a Chinese friend in your own language. This will allow you to convey your thoughts and ideas more clearly.
In other words, you don't need to know any Chinese before starting this course since I made it just for people like you. Attempt to fully grasp the terms I've covered in the videos, and don't be shy about getting in touch with me if there's anything you're still confused about. Your questions will be answered in subsequent videos. To get started, type the first few characters of the phrase. It will help you understand the characters as a whole lot more quickly.
