Mandarin, or Chinese language, is considered the most difficult language to master in the world, especially for those whose native languages use the Latin writing system. The Chinese language is indeed terrifying. Only seeing the characters and hearing the sounds before starting to learn the language are scary! Plus, knowing that different speaking tones will give different meaning to the words adding up the anxiety to learn. It is terrifying to get into it and put all the will into learning Chinese. We feel blocked and we think we will never be able to learn. When travelling in China, I challenged myself to learn the language within a year without going to school, hiring a teacher, or using any of the online language learning applications and software. I want to learn all by myself! On top of that, I bet 100 bottles of the finest champagne with anyone who dares to challenge me. If Im not able to learn this language in a year, I will organise a big party and supply 100 bottles of champagne for free! If I succeed, the 100 bottles are mine, along with a big party to celebrate my grand achievement. In this video, I share with you the methodology I used for learning Chinese. You will see the 3 steps of learning Chinese, as I do it along my learning journey. Do you think I will be able to complete my challenge? Will I lose 100 bottles of champagne or win it instead? Lets see!
