Of course you shouldn't devote more time than you possibly can. How much time per day are you willing to study? The same amount of hours each day?
You should be able to do one Pimsleur lesson per day (~30 minutes, or one hour if you need to review), but it could take up to a week for one FSI unit (consisting of several lessons/tapes). Maybe you can progress quicker than that, maybe you find it hard to keep up doing both. You might want to figure out a way to spread the FSI lessons over the week. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I recommend reading only explanations in your other sources. don't try to learn all the vocabulary but check if another explanation is clear, especially when something confuses you. afaiu, byki is for learning the vocabulary? it seems more or less similar to anki, so it's enough to pick one.

Yes My main focus will be Pimsluer doing a lesson each day and whatever free time I have then I will use that to my advantage by learning more.
I have not really looked Into FSI, Do you recommend that to work alongside with Pimsleur? I have quite a lot of free time as I live alone and as I am trying to save up, my social life has been put on hold. Giving me chance to solely focus on my learning. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you have "a lot of" free time, I'd definitely do something in addition to Pimsleur (at least if you limit yourself to one lesson a day).
FSI might be a good choice as long as you like material and stick to it (FSI isn't for everyone), or a basic ChinesePod lesson - you can't really go wrong there, since there is a huge number of podcasts for each level. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes I have got ChinesePod and will be using it whilst out and about to help me get more of a feel for it. Thanks.
I will check out Fsi and sample It to see If I like It. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think Pimsleur and FSI work nicely together, at least I felt that way when I used them for Turkish. They both tend to cover similar vocabulary and grammar, Pimsleur just feeding it to you while FSI explains it and gives you a ton of drill exercises.

Thanks hrhenry, Did you use any other things to help you?
I am looking for a site where I can find the words/phrases for what I learn on Pimsleur so I can add them on Anki. I am trying to find them with their characters and audio aswel so I have them all as I learn. 1 person has voted this message useful |
