I tried learning Chinese once. It was awful...

...seriously though, Chinese is a visual language, unlike English or French or Spanish or Korean or...basically anything. Simply saying, there's no alphabet in Chinese, and the words can have whatever meaning they throw at them.

Take, for instance, the word "talk". Just add an E and a D, and you get "talked" – the past tense. Now, I don't know how to say "talk" in Chinese, but I can bet an arm and a leg that the words "talk" and "talked" look nothing like each other.
