Biggest challenges for Chinese speakers learning English

If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Chinese speakers when they learn English.

  • Chinese has no verb tenses — the concept of past, present, and future through verb changes is entirely new
  • Chinese has no articles — 'a', 'an', and 'the' must be learned from zero
  • English consonant clusters at the end of words are very difficult for Chinese speakers
  • Tones in Chinese carry meaning — English uses tones only for emotion and emphasis

Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
