Commit and Learn Chinese Now - Achieving Your Language Learning Goals

For most people, learning Chinese is the kind of abstract goal that one writes on a piece of paper. A list, maybe. Say -- "100 things I want to do before I die". Maybe it has some company on that list with things like skydiving, scuba diving, and seeing the Taj Mahal. It should not surprise you to know that most people who make these kinds of lists will not achieve the majority of goals that they set on them.

The reason for this is, they do not take the first step. They cannot take action. I suggest that you write a different list. I suggest that you write a list of things that you're going to do right now. At the top of the list, write I'm going to learn Chinese now. Think about the first steps that you are going to take.

Will you go out and buy a book and CD? Well, it's a good thought. Some people do find some degree of success in language learning with books and CDs. However, the majority of people who start to learn a language this way fail. The reason is, people need to speak in order to learn a language. Besides, every word of information that you pay for in a teach yourself book is available for free on the Internet. There are a tremendous number of resources available for Chinese language learners for free on the Internet. A number of universities have made their entire curriculums for Chinese language learning available for free, for anyone, online. In addition to this, there are hundreds of Chinese podcasts, videos, dictionaries and tutorials available for free. So if you want to learn Chinese now, you don't really need to pay for a book.

If you're serious and want to learn Chinese now, something you should think about is arranging a language exchange. For free, you can arrange to speak to a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese through Skype. All you have to do is teach a short lesson in English, and they will teach you to speak Chinese. This is the best way to learn Chinese fast.

The Internet is full of resources for Chinese language learners, but if you're not confident about your ability to assemble lots of different resources, and teach yourself, think about the options that are available in terms of Chinese language learning software. One of the best programs is called Rocket Chinese. It offers support for questions, opportunities to speak to native speakers, and structured lessons to bring you to fluency. If you want to learn Chinese now and don't want to worry about assembling all of the components of a language course rocket Chinese has everything you need.

Most people will not take the first step. Most people are content with their lists of things to do before they die, with so many items unchecked. Don't be one of these people. Commit to learn Chinese now, and reap the benefits of fluency in a fascinating language.
