Well I'm halfway through the book "Colloquial Chinese". It's going fine, but would be going faster if I would practise the vocab more intensively. I'm SRSing it so in the long term that's good but I do need to study it harder and more in the short term.
Writing it out a lot works for me. But I am not writing it out because: a) I used to write by hand but now that is awkward due to not needing to write very often (!) b) I have just tried writing by computer recently and it's OK, though it is new so it doesn't feel natural. c) of course sometimes I am busy with other things d) most importantly the words in the course are a little bit boring so I'm not that excited to learn them. I think that covers everything! I am continuing my listening and have been watching a good TV series from Taiwan called 命中注定我愛你 [Mìng zhòng zhù dìng wǒ ài nǐ] ("Fated to Love You"). It's only entertainment but I like it. Also I have somewhat abandoned learning the Hanzi so as to learn faster. Ironically since I started doing that I have learned very little! I am much better at the tone drill here: http://www.shufawest.us/language/tonedrill.html and I'm trying the two syllable drill (sound quality not good but I don't know of any others) That's all, I hope you are doing well! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

PS is this the correct way to do the log? It's either click "add new entry" as I did, or keep replying to my original log...

Actually I'm wondering why you have two different Mandarin logs which were started this month. Edited by Snowflake on 13 February 2012 at 12:24am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

" mizunooto, click to post a new entry to your learning Logbook. "
OK so it looks like I thought I was "Writing a New Log Entry" but I was actually "Writing a New Log"! Hmmm. In that case I know what to do, thanks! Edited by mizunooto on 13 February 2012 at 12:28am 1 person has voted this message useful |
