Having watched ten chinovelas, I am gradually learning some Mandarin words. But I also bought this Mandarin Languange pocketbook to supplement my knowledge. I already know how to count from 1 to 10, to say hello “ni hao, ” to say thank you “hsie-hsie,” to bid farewell “zai-jan,” and to sing even in Mandarin which I could not do before, heheh.
I remember, I watch Chinese action drama when I was in my teens and try to understand what they are talking about. Hahah, that’s actually weird. But now, I can understand very minimal words, and that’s an improvement.
In studying other language, it is important to have a good memory and interest. If you already know some words then sentence construction is much easier. Thanks to my Nihonggo class in college…it helped me in analyzing Mandarin language construction.
Actually, it’s only the beginning. I am like a kid now learning how to speak my native tongue. But I am very enthusiastic to learn Mandarin having gone to China, Singapore and Indonesia (where some parts speak Mandarin). I don’t want to grope again. I would love to understand the heart of Chinese people and converse with them like any other fellow. Who knows, I’ll be back again in China, maybe in Shanghai or Beijing this time or travel to Taiwan. Why not?! Hao le, jia you!
