[quote=SANYACHINA,231119]Of course it is difficult. And I willgive you 2 good examples:

1. Often we can see minorities which do not speak Chinese (putonghua) good or even they just can't speak it. In the same time they can speak some other foreign language.
2. Even Chinese from Hongkong (they are a kind of Guangdonese in fact) can't learn to speak Chinese (putonghua).

Well, if the minorities and the Sothernese in China can't learn it quite good, how the foreigners to learn it fast? Yes, I met some white, black and yellow foreigners that speak Chinese better than even some Han-Chinese, but they are gifted and hard-working people.

The 2 big problems of Chinese language are:

a/ the characters (we discussed them in another topic).

b/ the tones.

EVEN HAN-CHINESE OFTEN DON'T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER AND ASK THE FUNNY QUESTION LIKE THIS:

A:  Word, word, word...NAN...word, word!
 B: Stop!!!!!!! WHICH "NAN"?
 A: (here the A start to give examples like "NAN FANG' DE NAN" ( The "NAN" of the word "NAN FANG")
  B: Oh, that "NAN"? OK, go on!

I mean - a terrible number of OMONYMS! :(:(:(........[/quote]
