Hi! Today i saw an article named "Why u shouldn't learn chinese":
http://taiwanease.com/features/language ... hinese.php
that made me really sad.
Why is it so impossible to be fluent in chinese? I don't think chinese writing is such difficult, is it?
When to have enough time, it's possible to learn 15 or more characters every day. It's really very interesting and pleasurable.
The real complicacy is pronunciation.. it's very interesting but soooooooo crazyy. Is it possible to feel tones as good as native do, even in fast conversations. if to put much time on it? Or speaking really fluently and quickly with accurate pronunciation is inaccessible to us, laowais? 8(
I am goint to enter chinese learning university in the next year. I'd like to devote myself to learning Chinese, but i'm afraid i will never be as good as native.. Language is not just a tool for communication for me. If to chose a profession i want to really be good at it.
So is it possible or not?
Do u know some foreigners, who can speak (and write/read) as good as native? is it possible to get this level if you set it as your main aim?
P.S. Sorry for my english![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
