OK, I've taken Chinese for a year now and so I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what keeps slipping me up.
1. Second tone. I find it incredibly hard to raise my voice as if I'm asking a question in the middle of a sentence and it trips me up for the rest of the sentence unless I've said the word dozens of times.
2. The characters. Not necessarily writing them or what not- just the fact that sometimes you reuse old characters and sometimes you don't. Believe it or not I feel like I'd rather never use them again and a character only be used for that one word or a version of that word or it be the same character for that particular sound every time. It just seems to confuse me constantly.
Anyone else have something about their classes that just drives them bonkers? Because I feel like I need to know it's not just me having trouble with seemingly simple things.
