[quote=GUEST42116,283091]Chinese is easy to "grasp" but extremely hard to "master" (the same as English but even worse). Often times, even Chinese natives with good education cannot compose good Chinese. A "literary" text does not only require correct grammar and right choice of words (Chinese has so many synonyms!), but also blending of classic Chinese, patternized phrases, and some regional dialects. There are phonological subtleties as well: the length of a phrase, the vowels to be used, the combination of tones...are all governed by some underlying rules which native speakers cannot express. I have seen a lot of foreigners speaking decent Chinese, but none of them writes perfect Chinese.[/quote]
