In some foreigners' eyes, the learning of Chinese has become the most difficult thing for them. The tones of Chinese and Chinese characters all seem to be a difficulty. Then what has made the learning of Chinese difficult?
在一些外国人看来,学习中文已成为他们最为头疼的事情。汉语的语调和汉字好像都是个难题。那么到底是什么原因使中文这么难学呢?
Top 1. Because the writing system is ridiculous.
The beauty of the characters is indisputable, but these ideograms weren't too practical for daily use. It is absolutely true that Chinese is hard because of the huge number of characters one has to learn. And Chinese is not very phonetic, which means that often you just completely forget how to write a character, if there is no obvious semantic clue in the radical, and no helpful phonetic component somewhere in the character.
原因一:书写方法简直是天方夜谭。
汉字的美丽,无可争议。不过这种表意文字在日常生活中并不是很实用。汉语之所以难学,就是因为要学的汉字实在太多,这也是绝对的事实。还有,汉字的拼写方式也不是很规则,也就是说,如果从一个汉字的组合方式中得不到任何显而易见的语义提示,或者其中没有包含什么有用的偏旁部首,就会把一个汉字的写法忘得干干净净。
