Start to learn Chinese

Have you ever thought about learning Chinese? I know, English is international language, but must population in the world actually speak in Chinese. Why? Because the population in China are more than 13 hundred million people, mostly of them speak in Chinese, besides, there are many Chinese live in different countries in the world, such as Singapore and Malaysia, Chinese still the main language in their own social life. I don't have experience in teach foreigner Chinese, but my husband is the only student I have. I know there are many way to learn Chinese, for me, I think Pin Yin is the best way for beginner try to learn Chinese. In Taiwan, we use our own phonetic symbols to learn Chinese, kids start to learn it when they are in kindergarten and elementary school, as long as you could remember what's the pronunciation for each symbol, then you could spell the sound really easy and quick, also could type Chinese in Taiwan's system. There are many foreigners are not use to this way to learn Chinese in Taiwan, but also many foreigners learning Chinese really well in this way. No matter what, learning Chinese is the future.

Although my husband is the only student I have, but I keep thinking how to teach foreigner Chinese since I never had the formal training. Maybe I might use the wrong way to teach, but I think I would get more experiences from the mistakes I made. I realize foreigners could learn Chinese really well as long as they try hard, because mostly of them are not afraid to speaks wrong. After all, the important key to learn language is speak and learn from the mistakes. Just like me, my husband is a nature English speaker and I am a nature Chinese speaker, although I know a little bit English, but I still make a lot mistakes when I talk to him, he and I used to it after a while, cause he understand what was I trying to say. Sometimes he try correct me about the simple grammar, that's why I could fix the mistakes I made.

Now, I am trying to teach simple useful Chinese sentence through SeekTaiwan.blogspot.com, and expect it could help you in your trip or somewhere, and maybe you could learn something as well.
