> I am a native speaker of English, and if you hand me a book written in German, I can sound it out (to some extent), but without knowing what it means. That works well because English and German are very similar. If China moved from characters to Pinyin, someone who doesn't know Chinese could sound it out, but it would be mostly unintelligible (wrong initials, no tones). |
