Enroll yourself in a class that teaches Mandarin and listen carefully and practice frequently.
Chinese in general is a tad bit harder to learn than Spanish, French, or another Romance language. This is because Chinese consists of both writing and speaking and both are slightly harder than these Latin-deriving languages because Chinese has no basis in Latin at all. It is almost like a completely different world's tongue.
To succeed in learning Chinese, you must follow these steps:
- Use flashcards to learn words and do book exercises. These usually help a lot for writing.
- Also, it is fundamentally important that you use the language often so that you do not forget it. Even if it is the most basic words or phrases, don't forget to practice them. This is the for retaining/improving the speaking fluency.
- Best if you could find a partner/tutor or teacher that speaks the language fluently and practice with them from time to time. If you have a guardian or neighbor that speaks Chinese, do converse with them in Chinese to practice.
- Writing Chinese (at least Traditional-wise but this also applies to Simplified, which is now the official Chinese writing way in China, to an extent) is not at all hard. Learn the characters well by realizing that each part of the character usually signifies something. (Basic words not included, such as 小 xiǎo and 大 dà ) But do keep in mind that about 2,000 characters are needed for basic literacy in Chinese (for example, to read a Chinese newspaper); Do not fret, for you'll be amazed at how much you can learn in a year or two.
So in all, just have fun, practice often, and you'll learn it successfully!
