如何學好普通話
"Why is Mandarin（普通話）difficult?" and "Is it hard to learn Mandarin?" are usual questions for beginners in the Mandarin language. 26.
C
Here are some tips.
Grammar
Compared to languages like French or English, Mandarin grammar is a piece of cake. 27.
E
When speaking in the past tense, a simple "了" will do. A very important thing for Mandarin is the sentence structure. Luckily, it is very easy to follow: Subject + Time + Place + Verb + Object.
Pinyin pronunciation (發音)
Pinyin may be a challenge for many, as Mandarin sounds don't often happen within the English language. 28.
D
If you are having trouble or are unsure of how to pronounce pinyin, there are a lot of pinyin pronunciation websites which are ready to offer help. Understanding the rules of pinyin will also greatly help you learn Mandarin fast.
Tones (語調)
29.
F
One word in pinyin can be used for different characters, all with very different meanings. For example, the word "si". While sì means four, sǐ means death. If you're not confident in tones yet, context (語境) can often help you understand the meaning behind.
In our view, it's about time we stop asking "Is it hard to learn Mandarin Chinese?". 30.
