As a language with the most speakers in the world, Chinese has the unique linguistic features with most of the other popular languages. With the fast development within China, people all over the world are becoming more and more interested in learning Chinese. However, it is becoming difficult in Chinese learning because the tones in speaking Chinese.
Pinyin has been in use to help people from the west to learn to speak Chinese for quite a long time (over 150 years), but it is also a bad "invention" in the way that it doesn't show the exact tone of the Chinese character and it doesn't link to the Chinese character at all.
So what I am thinking is to find out a better way to learn Chinese without using Pinyin. And I would like to share my ideas with other people, and I'd like to work with people who have the same interest to find out better ways to do it, at least in the school setting.
Any comments and advice or criticisms are welcome.
