An Introduction to Learning the Chinese Language

The Chinese language has over 20,000 characters,and only 10,000 are currently used. To be able to fully understand the language, at least when it comes to reading of course, you need learning Chinese characters. The Chinese language is one of the most fascinating, but complex, languages in the world. Over 1 billion people live in China, not counting the overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, parts of Malaysia and other high concentrations of Chinese people - which makes Chinese the most spoken language on earth by far. It is known for being indirect or to understate meanings. This indirectness is attributed to a cultural trait, older than the language itself.

Chinese is distinguished for its high level of internal diversity. The Chinese language is really very beautiful. I will recommend it to many persons. It is constantly evolving and there is an infinite number of words that can emerge through the combinations of the 214 elementary pictographs called ‘Chinese radicals.Either-or,two or more radicals can combin a new word.

The Chinese language is one of the oldest languages in the world, its earliest written records going as far back as more than 3,000 years ago. Chinese has seen constant development, but its grammar, vocabulary and writing system have mostly retained their basic features in the long time.

The Chinese language is gender neutral, unlike a Latin-based language like French, so it’s simpler from that standpoint. Unlike English, where one might say, “I will eat,” “I ate,” or “I have eaten,” in Chinese one would say, “Wo chi” (which means “I eat” ) plus the time phrases, today, later, tomorrow, etc. The Chinese language is written in characters, each of which consists of one, up to dozens of strokes, and a phrase or sentence can be made of several characters. Since the characters are much shorter than the corresponding English words, a Chinese translated version always takes much less space than the English original.
