Celebrities' Secrets: How to Learn Chinese well
I'm not going to lie to you saying learning Chinese is a easy thing. But to win more fans, celebrities from different countries have their own secrets. So check it out!
Roger Federer -- Crash Chinese Course in Shanghai and private coach
Federer said "我很高兴来到中国" when he beat Andreas Seppi in Shanghai Masters. Fans were on their feet and the crowd were thundering through the roof. After the quarter-final, he again said hi to the fans, but only this time it is in Shanghai local dialect "侬好伐". That's not all. Federer even mentioned his experience in learning Chinese in Shanghai when he was doing a local television show in Stockholm.
Stephon Marbury -- Chinese teacher from elementary school and also textbooks accordingly
As a basketball player, Marbury knows basic foundation matters. He chooses elementary school textbooks as his Chinese enlightenment. As Marbury said he would like to live in China for 30 years, I'm sure he is really putting effort into learning Chinese. Btw, try our app on iTunes "Tone Exercise - 西游汉语乐园" if you are not able to find any Chinese textbooks.
Kim So Yeon -- Language specialist as private tutor
Kim So Yeon is quite popular in China. In order to better communicate with her Chinese fans, she is trying and really learning Chinese. She got herself a private tutor, 4 times a week. Kim says the Chinese characters and its pronunciation are challenging, though she has learned a lot due to her career performances. And if she can learn Chinese more systematically, she believes she can have a better communication with her fans in China.
Most of us might not be able to afford private tutors like those celebrities, but we can still learn Chinese effectively, if you take advantage of the Internet. Many people now use smart phones and there are so many language learning apps out there like "Hello HSK — 4级分类突破" which can help you learn Chinese by categories of listening, reading and writing. The best part? You can use it when you are on subway, or waiting for a bus.
From my personal experience of learning English (sorry, I'm Chinese, native), learning a new language, no matter what language you are trying to learn, are basically the same, all you have to do is get yourself interested a new language and then listen and speak. That's it. Just practice and practice, I'm sure you will conquer your desired language.

Pop Chinese: 珍爱生命，远离毒品。
zhēn'ài shēngmìng, yuǎnlí dúpǐn.
珍爱 生命， 远离 毒品。
Cherish life, stay away from drugs!
A:毒品真是害人不浅。
B:所以我们要珍爱生命，远离毒品！
A:The drug is really injurious.
B:So we should cherish life, stay away from drugs!
The meaning of “dúpǐn(毒品)” is narcotic drugs. "Narcotic drugs" is often used to refer to any illegal drug. What's dangerous about narcotics like heroin is that they are taken into the body by means of a needle, which puts you at risk for developing skin infections, hepatitis and even HIV/AIDS. So it is necessary to stay away from drugs. And the meaning of “hài rén bù qiǎn(害人不浅)” is do people great harm, unfriendly or injurious. The word emphasizes something brings huge damage.

Pop Chinese: 恭喜发财，红包拿来！
Gōnɡxǐ fācái，hónɡbāo nálái !
恭喜 发财， 红包 拿来！

A：爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶，新年好！
B：嗯，真乖！

A: Daddy, mommy, grandpa and grandma, happy new year!
B: Oh, Good boy!
A: Aha, Wish you a fortune！Give me a red packet！
The Spring Festival is the most important celebration day of the Chinese, and the tradition of red packet even has originated from the Han Dynasty. On this day, young people would say lucky words to the elders, and the elders may prepare in advance the “hónɡ bāo（红包）”(red packet)or the so-called “yāsuì qián （压岁钱）”for the young. No matter how much money is in it, the main intention of such a tradition is for fortune. The New Year celebrating activities may start from today, and last until a whole month later.
