I just studied the Constitution in chinois and read the several English children books.
Will you also feel dizzy when you see the dense words? Actually this language is not easy to learn, even I contaced this language since I was 7. But who knows how much effort I paid. In addition schoolbooks, I have to buy three different publishers of reference books, self-study books and examination papers to practice the examination questions. Also, I need to buy 3 kind of dictionaries, one for four words idioms and other two for improving my vocabulary ability. Moreover I need to recite the Tang poetry for 300 poems. You cannot ask why, just recite and every one did that when they was little. Then they taught us to be a pretend-chinois. And you always can hear how smart they are. If you cannot read and write their words, they think you are a babarian. That's why even I am a left-handed, I also need to learn how to write their calligraphy, because I didn't want to get the lower social status. I still remembered that my hand was trembling at the biginning half year, of course a classmate laughed me. Therefore I told myself I must succeed, one day I would beat her. After 2 years, I did it.
I found that I really consistent with our national character, big concerns about face-saving. My English still need to improve, maybe soon I will study their textbooks. Since I met a lot of foreigners, I found they don't use the dictionary at all. They say it is for foreigners, however, I believe if I use the same effort for English and German, then I will speak them very fluently and good in writing and reading.
