Chinese Mandarin is one of the most difficult languages to learn and master, but it doesn't have to be that way!

So how do you learn a language that is both pictorial and contains no alphabet? Well, fortunately Mandarin is a highly descriptive language. You'll be surprised how easy it is to remember the words, as long as you know the meaning of the word you're trying to learn. For instance, how do you remember the word for Refrigerator? Well, if you imagine a Refrigerator as an object that's in a shape of a box with ice inside, then right away you know the words that make up Refrigerator, i.e., bīng (ice) xiāng (box). Wasn't that easy? Picture to Word association applied in a common sense way is a proven way to remember things. Give it a try, you'll be able to quickly learn new words and increase your vocabulary!
