Book Description
Mandarin is rather unique in terms of popular languages. While most popular languages follow certain rules, Mandarin vocabulary contains a number of special traits which can make it difficult for many people to pick up. One of the biggest differences is that the vocabulary is heavily altered by something known as tones. This has also influenced Mandarin vocabulary to be more polysyllabic than the majority of other languages which arose in the same general region. Mandarin is extremely useful to anyone who has an interest in the culture of China. This includes both classical and modern literature, cinema, and the continually growing economy. Given that China has long been a cultural super power, and is an economic one as well, there's a vast amount of potential benefit to learning Mandarin.

Book Description
Mandarin Chinese has less complicated grammar than French, German, or English. Basic sentence structure in Chinese is subject - verb - object, just like English. Word order is very important in Chinese, since verbs aren't conjugated, and nouns aren't declined. In English, verbs take different forms, such as see/saw/seen, in Chinese only one word, kan is used. In English one has to learn when to use cat (singular) or cats (plural), in Chinese there is only one word, mao. The word order in the sentence indicates what is going on. Understanding Mandarin grammar is key to understanding Chinese.

Book Description
Compared to other Latin-based and Indo-European languages, Mandarin Chinese is relatively easier to learn. The primary reason for this is the simple Mandarin grammar which has no set subject-verb agreement. The second reason is that Mandarin words do not have various plural forms, conjugations, and tenses. Finally, the Mandarin numbering system is one of the simplest in the world and is possibly one of the reasons why the Chinese are so good in handling numbers. Grab the Easy Study Guide Now!
