Who says Chinese is hard？ 谁说中文很难

Сегодня хороший день. На улице очень солнечно и свежо. Я решила выйти на прогулку. Я немного погуляла и вернулась домой. Дома я приготовила вкусный обед, выпила чай и помыла посуду. Мне нравится сидеть дома, когда идёт дождь. Но когда светит солнце, я всегда хочу выйти погулять и подышать свежим воздухом. А какая погода нравится тебе? Ты любишь, когда идёт дождь или когда светит солнце?

Many of us know that learning a second language isn't easy — it takes a lot of time and practice. It can be very rewarding, but also very frustrating, so many people might not even think about trying to learn a third language.

But it may not be as difficult as you think.

In fact, many polyglots — that is, people who speak many languages — say that learning a third language is actually easier than learning the second.

But why?

One reason could be that, when learning a third language, you have a better understanding of different language structures.

When we learn our first language, as children, we don't really learn how the language works — we just naturally start using it.

But when you learn a second language, you start getting used to language structures, including ones that might be different from your first language. In some languages, for example, nouns are often either masculine or feminine — while in English, there's no such difference.

Learning these things in our second language often makes it easier for our brains to recognize different structures like this in other languages.

When you learn a second language, you also develop different skills, like memorization techniques. These skills can then be used when learning your third language, making the process faster and more efficient.

Finally, learning your second language might have felt scary at first, but you did it! This may give you more confidence when learning your third language, because you have more of an idea of what to expect.

If you'd like to learn a third language, it might be helpful to choose one that's part of the same language family as one of your other languages, because the similarities could make the process a lot easier.
