Whatever your motivation is in Learning Mandarin Chinese, the only way you can be successful in this goal is to really put your heart in it. Immersing yourself in the culture or the country can make it a lot easier, but if the interest is there, you don’t need to actually be in China to make learning Mandarin Chinese in the Philippines easy. You can start learning the language by doing the following:
1. Constantly being around people who speak Mandarin Chinese
A short conversation with your Chinese friends will turn out beneficial in the long run. You are very lucky if you have a friend who is patient enough to be your guide in learning Mandarin Chinese. Chinese people are friendly and fun to be with.
2. Going to Chinese restaurants
If there is a Chinatown near you, like Binondo or Banawe, start being a regular at the restaurants there. Choose a place where you can’t find a single English word on the menu. You will meet fellow regulars who most likely speak Mandarin Chinese. Not only will you get authentic Chinese dishes, but also authentic Mandarin Chinese lessons.
3. Watching Chinese videos
If you hear Mandarin Chinese regularly, you will pick up on the tones and pronunciation. Movies and TV shows are a great source of lesson when you are learning Mandarin Chinese. There are scenes that will give you ideas as to how or when to use certain Mandarin Chinese words.
4. Listening to Chinese music
Chinese music is beautiful and relaxing. Most massage parlors and spas play Chinese music to promote relaxation. Learning Mandarin Chinese will both be easy and fun if you use music while studying. Even if you have a bad singing voice, your Chinese friends will still appreciate your effort at learning their language.
5. Enrolling in Mandarin Chinese language courses
It is less costly to enroll yourself in a language course than to travel all the way to China or Taiwan. Moreover, would it not be better if you go these countries when you are already fluent in the local language?
Learning Mandarin Chinese in the Philippines will only be easy if you put your heart in it. Forget your self-doubt, you can do whatever you set your heart to do.
