You are a duo standard Westerner to describe English is much easier than Chinese. Am a chinese native speaker, English is super hard than Chinese in my opinion.
@@forlornpreponderance2299 The challenging part about English is the grammar and in compromise to that, Chinese have more flexible grammar. Overalls I definitely think English is harder than Chinese as u reach higher level.
@@forlornpreponderance2299 Even for myself, I still made grammar mistakes when it comes to English even tho I'm educated with English as the medium of instruction in school, its grammar (the complex rules) is driving me crazy lol, my confidence is destroyed -- and that's just the grammar alone, it's even more insane if u take the vocabularies into account.
It's really interesting to learn about the differences between the languages. 我是中文大学生和 I really enjoy the grammar! What's worse is with English we adapt words from other languages causing more confusion for foreign students. As there's unique enunciation from the respective cultures. I'm a beginner but, geez how do I describe this. Context clues is a major thing in english, it's a part of our language sense. I can apply my context clues from english to mandarin and piece together the meaning of sentences in mandarin despite not knowing the characters. 我不懂了 if the chinese culture has this as well. I'd assume so which is why they "miss words". What's worse is in schools they give your a formal education on english, despite the fact we as a society speak lazily. Using improper grammar and made up words to communicate that are not in formal dictionaries. Videos like this inspire me to help foreign students in my school learn slang. Given it's ever adapting to present media.
這就錯了吧 xenophobic怎麼說也是個c1-c2 English, the chinese equivalent for mother tongue level chinese would be 古文中的中文。英語我學了12年(上學學的)我現在ielts8.5 跟母語差不多,比很多老外都好。你什麼時候見過老外中文比中國人好?(我說的是上過中學的中國人,同樣地我對比的也是上過中學甚至大學的外國人)
