iPhones and Android smartphones have built in recognition for Chinese characters, so you can simply write the character on the screen with your finger and the phone will recognize it for you so that you can conveniently look up a character in a dictionary such as Pleco wherever you are. However, for the Chinese learner, there is really no need to flick through a paper dictionary any more. Essentially, you have to find the core part of the character, called the “radical”, and count the number of extra strokes to find the character from a chart. Looking up characters in a Chinese paper dictionary can indeed be a challenge. The best thing, though, it to pay extra attention to the tones you use as you speak and listen, and keep working on your pronunciation, so you get things right! 2) Reading Chinese is a struggle because using a dictionary takes forever

That’s when most of the misunderstandings occur. If in doubt, it is better to pronounce a word in more of a flat tone if you are not sure than to guess the tone of the characters and get it wrong. This is not to say that getting good pronunciation isn’t important – it is – but as with other languages, even when you come across people who speak with very bad grammar and pronunciation, you can still usually understand the basic message.Īnother thing to remember is that when Chinese is sung, the melody of the music takes the place of the tones, and the listener has to interpret the tones of the words, so it is possible to mostly be understood without them. I’ve heard learners speaking Chinese in a monotone, and I’ve noticed that most of the time, native speakers can understand without a problem, because they can guess the tones that you are trying to say. Initially, this often gives learners the impression that Chinese is much harder to pronounce than other languages and it is much easier to be misunderstood. There are four “tones” in Mandarin Chinese, which means that there are four different ways of saying any particular syllable. 1) Nobody can understand unless your tones are completely correct I also had the chance to interview Chris, so make sure you check out the interview video below!
