Many foreign friends of mine are complaining that Chinese is so hard to learn: the ridiculously difficult writing system, the confusing four tones, the extensive system of measure words, so a lot of things to memorize It seems that I should thank God just for being born Chinese. Is Chinese really that hard to learn as a foreign language?
Actually, I don't think so. The Chinese language is really not that difficult to learn as you imagined or heard about. It's just very different from your mother tongue, but difference does not necessarily mean difficulty, right?
