Book excerpt: Through hundreds of conversations with foreign students who were experiencing difficulty in learning the Chinese language, I realized that they were often slowed down because they did not perceive certain fundamental bases of this ancient language of more than 4,000 years.It is with the desire to highlight these fundamental bases, and with the wish to help students learn the Chinese language, that I undertook to write “Chinese Without Tears, the fundamentals of the Chinese language.”If today you were told: “With this book, you will learn the fundamentals of the Chinese language. Following, you will understand and read aloud a complete short story written in Chinese, story that you will translate into English, and finally re-write in Chinese”, would you believe it?Step by step, this book shows that although mastering the Chinese language may take a lifetime, an understanding of the basics can be grasped in a relatively short time, laying the groundwork for subsequent serious studies.
