The Road to Mandarin

<p>Anyone learning Mandarin as a non-native will probably, at some stage of their learning journey, curse at how much of a pain it is. Whether you&rsquo;re struggling with the tones, the&nbsp;<em>pinyins</em>, or the characters, you&rsquo;re almost assured that it requires some hair-pulling moments.</p> <p>I thought I&rsquo;d share some insight into our day-to-day life embracing the language. But before I do, allow me to contextualize the way Chinese played as the undertone in my life.</p> <p>I am a Singaporean of Chinese descent. However, like many others growing up outside of China, I could barely speak a word of mandarin until age 6.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/little-roots-in-china/the-road-to-mandarin-1352039b14d1"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
