    Hi, I would like to add more details:

    Chinese children usually know pinyin and memorize some basic words and pronunciations in grade 1. We also learn the structure of words -- we call them: piān páng bù shǒu 偏旁部首.

    When we know the alphabet and the structure of pinyin, we can speak out all the Chinese characters!
    ( We use pinyin to type in our phone or computer as well)

    Learning basic, simple words, and  piān páng bù shǒu 偏旁部首 (about 50? I'm not sure. Simple words: 日- sun, 月-moon, 木-wood,火-fire. ) can make us read character with out pinyin.
    Since the difficult or complex words are usually made up of simple words and  piān páng bù shǒu 偏旁部首. We can guess what the complex words’ meaning ,or at least the difficult words is related to the simple ones.
    Like: 火-fire; 火焰- blaze
    When we can write simple words, we can read sentences/articles by ourselves  without looking at pinyin, gradually.
    ( However, we need pinyin when we type on our phone. we type pinyin and choose a correct Chinese character.
    It's like a person said something, I know the Chinese word in my mind.  Pinyin and Chinese character should be matched)

    After grade 2, we usually look up a dictionary to see a difficult Chinese character. this process will involve using piān páng bù shǒu (偏旁部首) . Then we get pinyin in the dictionary: so we know how to read/ pronounce it; and we can also get the meaning of the difficult word.

    Apparently, as we communicate with our parents, friends and teachers in Chinese, we speak Chinese every day, we can speak sentences (of course, children speak short sentences  as long as they can express themselves).

    Maybe it's our grade3. we start to learn making/creating sentences with new/difficult words and conjunctions. Then we learn to write a composition/short article/ essay(sorry, I don't know the exact word to say中文作文)。after many practice, we can express our ideas with more details and  in a precise way.

    For the reading part, our learning process is also reading with short simple articles first, and then read some  longer and difficult ones.
    As you guys said, maybe reading help us know how to use words in different  situations.

    Ps. When we were in primary school, we didn't use the Internet. When we saw words that we couldn't read, we looked them up in a dictionary.
    Now there is the Internet. If people encounter words they don't know on the Internet, they can copy them and paste them on the website to check pinyin and explanation.

    So for foreigners, maybe your Chinese textbooks do not involve too much about the structure of characters? And then you don't have to learn this, right? I'm not sure.

    Anyway, as foreigners may not learn ancient Chinese articles and our common used words are about <a href="tel:3000">3000</a>, so you should be able to accumulate them quickly. If you have some friends who speak Chinese, try to speak more, then you will master  Chinese  soon.
    Enjoy your learning!

    I hope you can understand my point in English.( I got the lowest score with writing part  evey time  in an English exam.  Crying😭).And hope our Learning method is helpful for you.
    If anything of my idea makes you feel confused, you can tell me. And I will try to explain again.😁

    1.昨天我听你说你女儿会去意大利。
    听,用法正确
    关于“会”,我个人觉得 用“会”也可以,
    其实主要还要参考这句话的前后语境,会/要/想,应该都可以用


    2.你在哪里买到了这件衣服?
    买,用法正确

    3.别去前面因为我看不清楚。

    单独写这一句话,句子意思不太清晰,不知道你想表达:看不清楚什么,缺少句子成分。

    如果在语言或者对话中,另一个人拿东西给你看,
    A:你看这幅画
    (然后A往前走,离B越来越远)
    B:别去前面因为我看不清楚

    如果这样用在对话中,“看”用法正确.


    4.他们的老师讲不明白。

    第3句和第4句,问题类似。
    这一句也是因为缺少句子成分,
    your sentence lack something
    .

    5.别进来, 我们还没上完英语课。

    上,用法正确

    6.你什么时能做完晚饭?我已经很饿了。
    做,用法正确

    我想掌握"掌握"那个词的用法 :)

    1. 你想掌握中文的话,你一定要长期住中国。
    2. 她下了决心要离开她的家庭,终于掌握自己的命运。
    3. 没有参加上个星期<strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">的</strike>那些会议的他不太掌握公司的情况。
    这里的 “的”有一点点多余,如果去掉句子会更通顺,
    不过,不删掉的话,语法上好像也没有错。


    4. 我外公是一九三<strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">十</strike>四年出生的,他说他<strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">掌握</strike>不上现代社会的变化。

    我外公是一九三四年出生的,他说他不上现代社会的变化。
    我外公是1934年出生的,他说他不上现代社会的变化
    此处用“跟”可能会更好,大概和英文中follow 的含义相近,这句话中用“掌握”不太通顺。

    出生年份可以写数字,不易出错;
    或者直接用一二三四五六七八九 写出来,
    再举个例子:电话号码13932151321
    你读的时候肯定不会读,thirteen billion blabla

    5. 她学了两年以后感觉才开始掌握到弹钢琴的弹法。
    感觉学了两年以后才开始掌握钢琴的弹法。

    6. 我每天费好多功夫自己动手做美食,希望这样能掌握到厨艺 !

    hi I am a Chinese girl.你的句子读起来,暂时发现了这么多问题,希望对你有帮助哦。

    哇塞,写了这么长一篇,都没有人要看了,哈哈哈
    我看我小侄女是每天写10个汉字,或者词语,她现在是小学二年级。

    我们小学1年级的课文都会有拼音对应汉字,这主要让我们会读以及认识一些基本的字。

    2-6年级好像是只有新单词才有拼音,多读课文多抄写新词,慢慢积累就行了。
    希望这个方法可以帮到你。

    回答来自一个热心的中国女孩,所以我们可以交换教材吗?我帮你找中国小学教材,可不可以教我怎么学好英语!哈哈哈哈

    Wow. such a long article, so nobody see and answer. hahaha.

    I notice my nephew, who only in grade 2, writes 10 Chinese characters or Chinese words daily.

    we have pinyin and Chinese words in our Chinese book in grade 1. I mean they match very much; 1 pin yin,1Chinese word.
     This let us know how to pronounce correctly.( our teacher will read for us and we follow her/ him). and we can know the the basic Chinese words and the most common words

    In grade 2-6, we only have Pinyin regard to the new words( or difficult words). read our text more, write the new words more. then our vocabulary increases.
     I hope this method works for you.

    Answer from a kind Chinese girl. so can we exchange our textbooks? I will find Chinese textbooks for you and you can help me with my English!  deal? hahahahaha

     hi, I am a Chinese, I think many people use the Block characters to show the emphasized words. 

    like this:

    normal words,普通文字;

    emphasized words,强调的词;,



    原来你们用斜体是表示强调,有意思,涨知识,哈哈
    you guys use italic to emphasize. that's interesting! got a new point. haha
