How to learn Chinese as a Second language

September 29th 2009 14:42
For me Chinese is a first language, but when other people that can't speak Chinese ask me how to learn Chinese as a second language, the truth is that, I don't have a clue.

A little while ago, I took a trip back to Taiwan and met up with my cousin and also met his girl friend for the first time. The girl my cousin is dating happens to be an oversea student from Europe, (don't ask me, which country, I have no idea.) She had this interesting trick of learning Chinese when she first came to Taiwan.

She would buy a whole bunch of Taiwanese pop songs from the CD store and listen to them and whenever there is a word she don't understand she would circle it up and look it up on the dictionary and remeber it.

Interesting ha?

I don't think this would work for me because I don't know how to even write down words. And even if I did, Pin Yin doesn't make the same sounds as English.

I got a trick, if you are a girl then get a Chinese boyfriend so you can practice with him, he have to put up with your crappy Chinese, if you are dating.

You should be suprise by the number of Chinese girl in Australia who are dating Aussie guys, just so she could practice her English, with somebody that has to put up with her crappy English and get him to check her English grammar while having to hang in assessments for Uni
