Learning Chinese is fun!

"Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.”

Chinese is considered to be the toughest language in the world,but but before we affirm this further I would like to add that it is all in the state of mind.I would like to share my experiences with you while my learning Chinese.Well Chinese is one language which gives you no clue that the written character is a chinese word or a chinese alphabet or a chinese sentence.It is all in Hanzi.It at times makes you laugh out loudly and at other times it tests your patience that how much zeal do you have to learn it.

My first experience was very funny.I and P started learning chinese together and it was my job to assist him in learning it as he hardly used to get time to revise whatever we studied in our class.One day out of that duty assigned to me, I sent a sms saying to him---"wo ai ni".This in chinese means---"I love you" and guess what he replied, "kaun Bai?".('kaun' means 'who' in Hindi and 'bai' means 'maid' in hindi.'wo' means 'she' in hindi ,'ai' means 'come' in hindi and 'nahi' means 'not/no' in hindi.)There are many words in Chinese which hold totally opposite meaning when used in hindi.e.g 'meili' in hindi means 'dirty', whereas 'meili' in chinese means 'lovely'.
