Do you think there are similarities and differences between Chinese and English?

中文和英文，既有相似之处，也有很大差别！ 相似之处：首先两者的相同点都是用于交流，沟通的媒介，表达思想、情感以及提问。瓷器就是两种语言都有大量借用外来词，英文从拉丁语、法语当中借词；中文在现代文钟业大量借用中国词汇，尤其在科技和文化领域。 不同之处：句子结构、时态与冠词、单复数的变化。这是语法结构的不同。其次就是发音与语音的不同，音调重音和音素都有差别。最后就是文化背景和书写系统。 虽然两者都能有效的传达信息，但它们的结构、规则和文化背景有很大不同！
similar part just is they are language to convey ideas and information so just say the key word we can get your point. there are lots of differents. 1.Chinese has hanzi English uses alphabetic systems 2.Chinese tones is different fromEnglish 3.Grammar one of differents is Chinese verbs don't have tense change and so on
是的，中文和英文有相似之处，也有不同之处。 中文是使用汉字的，每一个字代表一个单词，英语使用的是字母表，字母代表发言。另外，中文是一种声调语言，音节的声调可以改变它的含义。比如，妈mā（mother），骂mà（scold）所以要想学好中文，就要先学好拼音。
英语是声音文字，中文是表意文字，学习的东西虽然都是听说读写 ，但是学习的方法却不一样的。我是国际汉语老师又是汉语文文学学士，希望我可以帮到你。

Best answer
Language is a skill, you should to use it constantly, and it depends on how often you review it and use it. As a Chinese teacher I can help you review and learn new things at the same time. We will take about 1-3 lessons to learn pinyin and 1-3 lessons to learn characters. And then you need take a long time to learn new words, grammars and expressions. During this time, you must not only learn it, but also find opportunity to use it. For example, watch Chinese TV show, listen Chinese music and so on.
