First of all, let me break something a lot of people do believe and that is that Chinese is difficult. It's not. I actually find my native language harder than Chinese. And here's why:
It's like building blocks with only 8 words you can already make 20.
Most Chinese character with a little imagination like the pinyin huo looks already a little bit like a flame: 火
Finding it hard to change your words like a fire two tables many fires? and are you still confused what to use? With Chinese, it's easier. You just add the number of things you have before the sentence. The word fire doesn't change. Just the character before out after it.
Have it in a question just add ma at the end.
Dyslexia also is less of a problem.
I alway's imagined it as a language learned by cavemen so it alway's following that logic a little.
The tone's are a thing we actually already are using in daily life. When you start learning Chinese you notice.
And I mean if over 2 million people can speak it then it's not that hard right?
