Many people say that learning to read and write in Chinese is not easy, especially for someone who has entered a certain age. So if you want to start learning Mandarin, it's best when a child is 5 years old. Keep in mind, although there are between 40,000 to 60,000 characters in Chinese, there are only about 3,000 characters used in everyday life by Chinese people. Chinese characters are not the only things that are difficult to learn in Chinese as intonation, phonetic transcription, and pronunciation are also obstacles that are difficult to overcome. Therefore, it is important for a child to start learning Mandarin as early as possible so that they can learn these things more easily.
