I was fascinated by the characters, but they seemed very complicated compared to the alphabet I knew. The tones were another difficulty. Chinese has four main tones, and using the tones, one could change the meanings of the words completely. I often made mistakes with this in the beginning. Writing Chinese characters was also tricky.

To improve my skills, I started watching Chinese TV shows and listening to Chinese songs. This made the learning process more fun and improved my listening skills.
