Dear Peter,

I'm glad to know that you have studying Chinese in an university in Beijing for about one month. Just as you have found, Chinese differ from English greatly. The pronunciation and the spelling of the Chinese words are very complicated, and so is the sentence structures. That is because many people, especially the foreigners, have great difficulty in learning Chinese.

Therefore, practice makes perfect. If you can read and write Chinese as many as you can, you will have a good command of it. In addition, you should look for more opportunities with communicate with the native people to get familiar with different accents as well as our cultures, that will help you a lot.

Don't give up. I'm sure you can learn Chinese well. I can offer you some help if it necessary.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua
