First of all, congratulations on deciding to learn Chinese!

It is a magical language that will boost your brain and confidence and open completelly new perspectives on looking at the world around you.

First let's look at some common myths about Chinese.

1. PEOPLE THINK THAT TONES ARE EXTREMELY HARD, BUT IN FACT THERE IS NO NEED TO BE STRESSED ABOUT THEM. 

Watch the video to see how simple they actually are and what will help you to gain confidence in them.

2. PEOPLE THINK THAT CHINESE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, BUT IN FACT, THERE ARE VERY EASY ASPECTS - LIKE GRAMMAR AND LEARNING NEW VOCABULARY.

Watch the video to see what I'm talking about.

You see that with the right approach learning Chinese can be extremely ADVENTUROUS & FUN.

Now let me give you several tips on how to be able to speak with confidence in several months (on common topics of course).

1. Have someone to guide you to get good pronunciation habits.

It is almost impossible to re-learn bad habits later so make sure you get your pronunciation right from the beginning.

I mean the pronunciation of the sounds, not the tones. Tones take more time to get used to and you can't rush it - but try the best you can.

Some tutors don't bother too much about the pronunciation so make sure you find someone who is strict about that, you will be grateful later. Also get confident in pinyin, you will need it.

2. Understand the composition of the sentences.

The word order is super easy and it stays the same all the time (the question and informative sentences have the same word order).

I have a very easy formula for the word order but I won't reveal it here, it is one of the secrets I keep for my students and people who use my materials.

3. Understand that there are no tenses in the sense we think about them in English (and in other languages).

Learn to express future, potential future, finished action, change of state, experience in the past and circumstances of the event. See the difference between action verbs and verbs of state. 

4. Learn to use modal verbs and conjuctions.

5. Build usable vocabulary based on the fact that everything in Chinese is interconnected.

6. Understand 就， 才，的 and 得

7. Learn grammar rules and words together.

Learn functional practical sentences that will serve you as examples of the grammar structures (then you just need to change the words in these sentences).

8. Develop your listening skills - that is very important.

For that there are Youtube channels and podcasts on Spotify (and in my materials the audio part also plays an important role). You can listen to Chinese radio stations just to get the feeling of the language.

After 3-4 months you should feel pretty confident in normal conversations if you study regularly under a competent guidance.

Study materials along with your guidance make all the difference in your learning experience.

First let me show you what your digital study materials can look like:

If you want to get access to

→ unorthodox materials

→ Chineseffect SMART SYSTEM (that took over 20 years to develop)

and be guided daily by a Master Teacher of diplomats, there is one simple thing to do... 🙂
