i don’t know …. i study chinese since almost 4 months, every day, and I cannot understand even the most simple, most stupid sentences, like the lady at the laundry shop, asking for my address, just for example.
if an idiot goes to italy and studies italien for 5 weeks, every day, he can have a conversation in italian and understand quite a lot.
but me, for chinese … i mean look at those characters … 14 strokes, 7 strokes, it’s a pain in the ass to memorize …
i think there’s something wrong with the books. highly inefficient. there must be something wrong with the books.
