- - - Hey students...it's very simple really. You must learn those inflections (tones), those verbs and new vocabulary and how to use them effectively. Chinese is not a phonetic language. The pronunciation is not related to the writing of Chinese words (characters). A special tool called Pinyin (pronouncing the sound) is created for people to learn Mandarin pronunciation. Pinyin is a way to transcribe Chinese characters so people can pronounce it. The writing of Pinyin is similar to English alphabet.
If you listen carefully you will find Chinese is a very beautiful language as it has more musical sounds (vowels) than noise (consonants). Except for nasal sound like "n" and "m", all Chinese syllables ends with vowels. So we call them "Final Sounds". The consonants at the beginning of a syllable are called "Initial Sounds".
Most of Mandarin sounds are Easy for English speaker to pronounce but some sounds are Difficult and require more practice. So practice daily. Speak out loud. I learned in grad school that you will make 250,000 errors before you become "minimally proficient" in Chinese...so do not be afraid to make errors. Practice. I used to tell my students that errors are "lessons in wisdom." So get started today and make lots of errors and "get them out of the way!"
My best students were never hesitant to speak up and to try new utterances. You do the same and you will succeed! So get busy and check out all these helpful sites below that are aimed to help you become proficient in Chinese. They practically do your homework for you.
GOOD LUCK

There are a lot more links and information at the bottom of this page...be sure to check them all out
China according to the BBC/more info below
* * * * * * * * * China's People
There are about 55 million ethnic minorities in China, each with their own distinctive customs costumes and, in many cases, languages. Though rich in culture, and varied, together they make up only about seven percent of the population, with the main group, know as Han Chinese , accounting for rest. Modernization of society and intermarriage are inevitably leading to the dilution of these differences, but many groups remain proud of their heritage and retain their traditional beliefs and customs. Many have beautiful styles of dress (especially of the women), and these costumes and cultures have become a major attraction to visitors, who bring trade to communities.

A few of the easier things about learning Chinese:
- Unlike many European languages, Chinese has no irregular verbs or noun plurals to learn, because
words have only a single form, with no suffixes for tense, number, case, etc. (There are some particles
which work somewhat like tense endings, but they always take the same form, no matter what
they are added to.)
- It is said that Chinese speakers are usually tolerant of a foreigner's mistakes--perhaps because
so many Chinese themselves speak standard Mandarin Chinese as a second language.
If you would like to know the harder things about learning the language... go to:
How hard is Chinese?
or
Why is Chinese so damn hard?
China is forever linked to its ancient civilization, friendly people, and many of the worlds most revered treasures, such as The Great Wall, Terra-Cotta Warriors & Horses and the Yangtze River. Today, one can also find spectacular architecture and towering skylines in Shanghai
and Beijing (site of the 2008 Summer Olympics), a wealth of luxury accommodations and as always exquisite cuisine
Come and see why China is drawing millions of visitors from all over the world. And, why each and everyone of them returns home smiling :)
