First of all, it comes from the cultural differences between China and the West. Because in the past hundred years, cultural exchanges and understanding between China and the West have been cut off for a long time, and little is known about each other, including language exchanges and exchanges.
Secondly, there are too many kinds of Chinese, not only simplified Chinese characters, but also traditional Chinese characters, which are still used in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong. Not only that, but also China's ancient poems, which is almost a "fantasy" for foreigners to learn Chinese.
Secondly, Chinese tones are more difficult to master. Everyone knows that Chinese has one tone, two tones, three tones and four tones. But in Chinese, the same word can have different tones in different tones, which increases the difficulty for foreigners to learn Chinese.
Fourth, the meaning and meaning of Chinese vocabulary are too rich. Polysemy in Chinese is particularly common, which is difficult to master in sentences and languages. Even China people don't understand, let alone foreigners who study Chinese.
Fifth, Chinese writing is too complicated. A Chinese character often has one more stroke, one more horizontal and one more vertical, and it becomes another character. Chinese characters with similar Chinese characters actually have opposite meanings and different pronunciations.
Sixth, because there is calligraphy in Chinese characters, and calligraphy is also divided into seal script, official script, running script and cursive script. China's calligraphy has its own rules, which are very different from the standard Chinese characters in the ordinary sense. It is very difficult to identify, especially for calligraphers.
Seventh, there are many Chinese dialects. There is a saying in China that "ten miles are different". Henan has Henan dialect, Shaanxi has Shaanxi dialect, Sichuan has Sichuan dialect, Guangdong has Cantonese, Jiangxi has Jiangxi dialect, Yunnan has Yunnan dialect, and so on. It is already difficult to learn Mandarin, let alone dialects all over the country.
In a word, Chinese is probably the most difficult language to learn in the world. However, despite this, in recent years, Chinese has become very popular around the world, and more and more foreigners have joined the ranks of learning Chinese without fear of difficulties. Many foreigners are also proud of being able to master Chinese.
