Once Chinese is mentioned, people may feel awed, for they think Chinese is a very difficult language to cultivate but very mysterious at the same time. Based on the two ideas and some other mythological stories, people from around the world are swarming to Chinese learning. Sadly not so many people have occupied this language yet as millions of Chinese people have occupied English and other foreign languages. Why haven't they achieved their final aim yet? Because this language seems too difficult for others to approach even an inch. Is that the truth? Not! Definitely not! We should have some useful and operable measures at hand to deal with this difficult language.

As my experience tells me, those who want to understand Chinese well must learn the Chinese alphabet first. To tell you the truth, the Chinese alphabet consists of 26 letters too and all the letters are the same as English letters. The only difference is that such letters have a different pronunciation from the English letters. Now if it is more convenient for you? Indeed! You usually use the 26 letters and must be very familiar with them all. This time you ...
... just need to shift your pronunciation a bit and then everything is done. I have met some language teachers who have done so and can speak proper Chinese. So what I mean is that you should slash a path for you pass through and the path is the one you can do very easily when you begin doing this stuff.

Since you have accumulated the Chinese letters, you now can move to the speaking section of Chinese. Some people may use the advanced language learning software like Rosetta Stone Chinese to speak this language, but you can just follow your teacher and speak anything out that your teacher has told you. The Rosetta Stone Chinese software doesn't have the English translation, but does have the Chinese language straight away. Since you are not familiar with Chinese characters yet, it is best for you to just remember Chinese letters and use them to develop your speaking. My humble suggestion is that you should pick up the commonly-used Chinese phrases and sentences like "Ni Hao(Hello!)", "Zao Shang Hao(Good Morning)", "Wan Shang Hao(Good Evening)" and "Hen Gao Xing Ren Shi Ni(Nice to Meet You)" etc. Certainly you should try to gather such simple things regularly in your life, so that you will have enough things to practice when you spare time for this part.

Finishing this section, your work hasn't been finished yet, you need to learn Chinese idioms and proverbs. I suppose using the Cheap Rosetta Stone software, you will seldom learn such things, for this software features speaking rather than anything else. Now it is your Chinese teacher who may help. A qualified Chinese teacher should have learned some useful idioms and proverbs in Chinese. In this case you can ask him about such things. Now I just show you one example for practice, it is "Qian Li Zhi Xing, Shi Yu Zu Xia", which means one thousand miles of journey begins only with a simple step. It is a proverb that tells people don't hasten to accomplish a huge task, you should carefully do the simple and easy parts of this task in the beginning first. But if you haven't understood the basic things in Chinese, don't try to launch yourself on such things seriously, for it will make you suffer. But I think you can do this as fun, cannot you?

Such tips are my ideas on Chinese absorption. If you have other better ideas, you shall not lose your spirit to try them. As some great man has said that even though you have a great many good ideas, but you never dare to try them, your ideas are nothing.
