Learning Chinese is fast becoming a popular language to learn, in fact over 50,000 people each month do a search online on how to learn to speak Chinese. And since you are reading this article, I’m guessing that you too would like to learn this fascinating language. This article will go over a few simple Chinese words and sentences that you can learn today in just a few minutes. Are you ready to get started?
First you need to know that there are subtle differences in the language of both traditional and simplified Chinese so let’s look at an example so I can show you want I mean. If you wanted to ask someone ‘how do you feel?’, traditional Chinese would be “你怎麼感覺?” however the simplified version is “你怎么感觉?” (notice the subtle differences in the third and last characters). Oh and by the way to answer that question with ‘I feel fine’ would be “我覺得罰款 “.
Not every sentence has differences between simplified and traditional however for example if you wanted to ask ‘where is the nearest police station?’ both versions use the same reply of “在最近的警察局?” While it sounds confusing to know whether to use traditional or simplified Chinese once you start to learn it, it starts to fall into place and isn’t as complicated as it seems right now.
Let’s look at another quick example before I finish this article. Obviously if you are travelling to China you are going to want to buy things, so if you want to buy a loaf of bread you can ask ‘how much is this bread?’ which would be “多少這是麵包?”. If the bread was 10 yuan (Chinese currency) the store owner would reply “麵包的成本10元” (The bread costs 10 yuan).
As I said, once you start to learn the language all becomes a lot easier to understand, so if you want to learn to speak Chinese you need to find a good reputable company to help you. I’ve found what I feel is the best online course there is. If you want to find out more about it visit Rocket Sign Language.
