You can write or speak well, only when you read enough. Initially don’t be choosy, just read everything of the same language.

Some readings may frustrate you, but unless you read bad ones you won’t realize worth of the good writings. Read voraciously, underline words or phrases which you don’t understand. Find out meanings of the same.

Audio aid is a must

Don’t hesitate to speak

Often we hesitate to speak when we are not very confident about the language. Don’t do it. Even if you go wrong, just start conversing. Initially you may talk to yourself in front of mirror; it will sharpen your confidence to speak in public. If not on stage, start conversing in small group. Observe others. If you fall short of words or go wrong, ask others to rectify you. It’s a learning process and very helpful.

Literature, movie, music and culture

To know any language well, you need to get into the depth of that culture – its heritage, music, literature, movies. If Chinese language inspires you; know the Chinese culture, how it evolved, read all famous novels, watch all kinds of Chinese movies, and listen to their music. Soon you will get a hold of the language.

Consult dictionary
