How much difficult is it learning Chinese language(mandarine)?
I want to learn Chinese for business purpose. How much time will it take and how much difficult is it learning this language? Is there any body learning it as a Second Language?
Please help me.
if you just want to learn to speak (and don’t bother to read), then it is not way more difficult than other foreign languages, except that you need to accustom to the tones in Mandarin Chinese. if you also want to learn to read, then you need to spend a lot more time to memorize Chinese characters, you need to memorize hundred of characters before you have basic literacy.
anyway, if you wanna listen to the Mandarin tones, try this page:

if you also wanna learn Chinese characters, try this:
