[quote=GUEST38252,537226]When you run across a word you don't know, you can't sound it out like English.  It will also take like 10 minutes to look up the word in the dictionary if there are a lot of strokes (You won't be able to use pinyin since you don't know how to pronounce the word.)  Also, words run together without separation like English.  Something like: 我应该学汉语。
Which could be written: 我   应该   学   汉语。But that is a simple sentence, but if you are in a longer sentence, you are not sure when one word ends and another word begins.  
When you learn a word, it is not always used like the pinyin.  Like 什么.  You learn that the pinyin for it is shen me.  But when you actually listen to people, they pronounce it she me (no n sound).  
Well, writing is also pretty difficult.  But I am not too concerned about writing since most of the time now I just punch in the pinyin and choose the word.  
There are also a million ways to use 就 and 才.

I am sure there are more if I think about it.[/quote]
