原因一:书写方法简直是天方夜谭
Top 1 Because the writing system is ridiculous
汉语之所以难学,就是因为要学的汉字实在太多,这也是绝对的事实。
It is absolutely true that Chinese is hard because of the huge number of characters one has to learn.
还有,汉字的拼写方式也不是很规则,也就是说,如果从一个汉字的组合方式中得不到任何显而易见的语义提示,或者其中没有包含什么有用的偏旁部首,就会把一个汉字的写法忘得干干净净。
And Chinese is not very phonetic, which means that often you just completely forget how to write a character, if there is no obvious semantic clue in the radical, and no helpful phonetic component somewhere in the character.
