Nihao. How are you? Are you having a good day? We’re doing fine. Let’s get started with Day 2 of your Chinese course.
**RULE 2: Don’t Study Grammar
Stop studying grammar.
Stop studying grammar.
Right now. Stop. Put away your grammar books and textbooks. Grammar rules teach you to think about Chinese, you want to speak automatically– without thinking!
With our system, you learn Chinese without grammar study. Your speaking improves quickly. You succeed. You speak Chinese naturally.
So Rule 2 is: Don’t Study Grammar!
Have a great day and continue to improve your Chinese 🙂
Take Care,
Mr.Peng
你好,我是彭老师,你过的开心吗?我希望你过的快乐。今天我们来说说学习汉语的第二个规则。
规则二:不要研究语法
重要的事情说三遍:不要研究语法,不要研究语法,不要研究语法。
为什么呢?
因为你去研究汉语的语法,相当于你走了一条弯路,选择了一条更难走的路。因为语法是用来规范汉语的,作为初学者,学语法完全是浪费时间的。
如果你研究语法,它会让你思考着讲汉语,每讲一句话你都会想着应该怎样说,怎样说汉语才不会错误。
最后会让你的汉语口语表达能力没有了,因为你的大脑总是在想着应该如何说才对的。越说越慢,学几年汉语也说不好。
好了,这是学汉语的第二个规则:别研究语法。
祝你开心每一天
彭老师

A Story From Sophia
“My name is Sophia and I’m a student from US. When I started learning with Mr.Peng, I just speak a few Chinese. I had studied Chinese grammar many years, but I couldn’t speak.
The first day with TPRS-Chinese system I thought I would study grammar. However, he surprised me because he never taught grammar rules.
Instead, he told a mini chinese story. he told it many times, in a strange way. he constantly asked questions, and I answered the questions. The questions were super-easy.
Honestly, I was a little confused. I thought he was kind of a crazy teacher 🙂 I thought I needed to learn more grammar.
I continued with TPRS Chinese and then, after only two weeks, something amazing happened. My speaking improved! My friends asked me, “How are you improving so quickly?’”
I realized that Mr.Peng was quite clever, and the stories and questions and articles were teaching me to speak Chinese, without studying grammar rules. Wow!
Sophia is a great student. She learned extra fast because she listened to our lessons 5 hours a day. However, you can improve with just one hour a day.
You can get the same results… but you must follow Rule 2.
Sophia quickly improved speaking– when she stopped studying grammar. This is your second rule.
