Hi Luke,

indeed. I think this method can really help understanding in Chinese grammar.

Alas, it should not be the only method to Chinese grammar. Definitely helps at the beginning!

I am so angry with my Chinese class for not doing this. I have felt through the whole book that this would make things way easier. Everything has to be so over-complicated. Grrrrrr.

the syntax is impossible. but at the same time how can one form sentences in chinese without knowing the syntax in the first place? just by following grammar rules? but then how do you know if its stylistically accurate? (minus just repeating things verbatim from hearing others say something) i dont see how its possible to speak chinese accurately without using COE 100% of the time?in essence this would help you “think in chinese”

Yeah, I agree. Especially if you miss some syllables.

Word order is one of the things that slows down my comprehension when I’m listening to Chinese, and I did find myself sometimes thinking in COE – which seems to make listening to Chinese more comfortable and natural for me.
