Is Learning Chinese that much difficult or easy to lra
This month I started learning Chinese, which is difficult compared to my Semitic language family.
But I find it easy to keep those words in mind. The language is called Hanyu and the letters used to write words are called Hanzi, which is difficult in learning Chinese. Still, I am learning the language using the English alphabet called pinyin. Let me give you those words I have captured in the last month so far.
