One of the most common reactions people have when you suggest they learn Chinese is to complain that it’s incredibly difficult. Luckily for Chinese learners, this is completely wrong.
While there are probably easier languages to learn than Chinese, it is by no means the most difficult, and far from the insurmountable object, many make it out to be!
When it comes to the issue of grammatical complexity, Chinese is really one of the easiest languages there is to learn.
Unlike most European languages, it does not feature complicated constructs like cases and genders.
It also treats tenses in a very simplistic way.
Furthermore, unlike other East Asian languages such as Korean and Japanese, the language is free from the complicated honorific grammar.
When you consider how long learners of other languages focus on verb conjugation and genders, you will begin to understand that this is an area where Chinese learners can rapidly outpace learners of other languages.
