How to Make Learning Chinese Language Happen Part 2
Let's continue yesterday's topic! There are two more useful tips that can help you to improve your Mandarin Chinese learning!
Two: Don't stop, use dead time.
Learning Chinese is like climbing a mountain… whilst on skis! So as soon as you stop learning, you start going downhill again. There are many apps out there that slowly build vocabulary every day, the best thing about them is that they provide 10-minute bite-sized exercises so you have no excuse to keep on top of your Chinese. This also makes it easier when you are busy and don’t have an hour to spend studying. Use up dead time and turn it into a language learning opportunity, download podcasts, watch YouTube videos, the options are endless, there are many resources out there!
Three: Set aside some time, get support.
Although you may be busy, try to set aside some time just for Chinese learning where your whole focus in on learning the language. This can be done alone or with a tutor, which we suggest. Learning Chinese is not an easy feat, the characters must be written in the correct order, the tones said in a certain way, it’s hard to do it on your own so getting a tutor will make it easier. They are like your personal language trainer. Whilst you are at it, join some Chinese language learning groups of students at the same level as you that way you can help each other keep motivated and gain some extra knowledge.
Hope you’re super excited about learning Chinese. Before we leave you, did you know that learning Chinese can actually make you smarter? Speaking Mandarin Chinese uses both sides of your brain because of it’s tonal and pictographic characters, as opposed to for example English that only uses one.
