Do Not Be Afraid of Making Mistakes When Learning Chinese
Generally, anyone Mandarin(普通话pǔtōnghuà) learners know that making blunders(错误cuòwù) can be a common thing with regards to studying this language. As a matter of fact, if you are not making errors – be they grammatical, tonal(声调的shēngdiào de), or – every single time you open your mouth to speak, you’re either not attempting very hard or you knew Chinese in a preceding life! As somebody who spent years studying Chinese the ‘incorrect’ way just before lastly figuring out a greater, more efficient method to study the language, I’d argue that making errors isn’t just a good thing, but that it is only by making blunders that a foreign student can ever start to work towards accurate(精确的jīngquè de) conversational fluency.However,do not be afraid of making mistakes when learing Chinese.
