Chinese can be difficult to learn as it does not have any Latin roots like many of the languages used in the Western world, such as English, French and German. It consists thousands of characters, which have a completely different structure from spelling with the alphabets in English.
The way a Chinese character is written out also have little or no relation to how it is pronounced, which can make dictation and learning the right pronunciation a tough task.
Besides, some pronunciation of Chinese (including Mandarin) can be hard to master by someone who only speaks a Western language. For example, words beginning with the pinyin "ch", "zh" and "sh" require the curling to the tongue in Mandarin and this can be tricky.
Moreover, the sentence structures are different in Chinese. For example, someone asks you "You didn't finish your tasks, right?". In reality you haven't finish your tasks so you'll answer "No" in English. But in Chinese you will answer "Yes"! Another example is the way fractions are read. 22/7 will be read as 22 over 7 in English but it'll be read the other way round in Chinese!
But the Chinese language does have its own benefits. There is much less grammar in Chinese language. For example, there is no such thing as present, past and future tenses and plural form is not needed.

Chinese can be challenging to learn for several reasons. Firstly, it has a unique writing system with thousands of characters to memorize. Secondly, it is a tonal language, meaning that the tone in which a word is spoken can change its meaning. Additionally, Chinese grammar and sentence structure may differ significantly from languages with Indo-European roots, making it complex for learners.
