Learning Chinese, like learning any other foreign languages, is always a challenge for non-native speakers, even for Chinese people who speak other dialects as their mother tongues. However, as learning all other subjects and skills, it is precisely in the process of accepting the challenge and conquering the difficulties that people gain satisfaction and mater a new language or a new skill.
Chinese grammar is relatively simple, from the standpoint of most European languages.
The word order of Chinese is basically SVO, and its syntactic structures resemble English considerably. Chinese sound system is uncomplicated, either. Even compounded by the four tones, the total number of meaningful syllables in Chinese is 1,382 only. Thus it is not exaggerated to say that the entire spoken Chinese contains merely various combinations of all these 1,382 syllables. Since there is no consonant clusters, and most of the sounds end with a vowel, the sounds in Chinese per se are not difficult to produce.
