Chinese

Most of Chinese writing comes from picture, so we can understand the meaning of words easily. Therefore, it is difficult to pronounce words which we have never seen before. I remeber that we spent half year learning pronunciation in elementary school. At that time, there is no any writing in the textbook. At the first four years of elementary school, our writing must with pronunciation in the textbook. Some words are similar, especailly some words are just different between the length of one drawing. Therefore, Chinese is difficult to write and pronounce, but it is easy to understand the maning if you know a lot of chinese stories and culture.
