Your experience reminds me of my experience coming to Australia. It's been really struggle at the beginning. I studied at a language school in Melbourne for 3 months, and later found out that IELTS 5.5 can apply for the ANU's foundation course. So I applied for the Australian National University's foundation course and was lucky enough to be admitted. It has been 10 years since then. I also plan to return to China to start a new adventure.
It's said that you should live in China to master the language...yes this wil fast track you BUT it's not a realistic goal because you have to sacrifice so much else as a result. Having been to China twice it can be very frustrating because unless you have a VPN there is no google or social media and the only job your likely to get is in a hotel where fluent English speaking is sought after for tourists. Depends on your city there is usually a local chinatown area which is a really immersive experience and you could just spend a couple of hours there each week. In UK there is quite a few. London and birmigham are great
Ah I remember trying those Sinolingua graded readers, they weren't very fun to read lol. I switched to reading the novels recommended on Heavenly Path using Pleco to provide a pop-up dictionary. Between that and doing a little anki my progress was pretty good, now I'm reading 末日乐园 and 三毛's books and other really fun stuff.
I'm indian so I Already speak 3 language but want to learn another Language but the thing is that I can master any English But I lose interest rapidly 😢
@@tess_chineseI agree. I am using pinyin to help with pronunciation, but I think learning the characters is very important. I am up to about 600 - 700 characters… and preparing for HSK 4.
良い中国語自習経験話し。有難う御座います 暗記に頑張って下さい！ How much of this makes sense to you?!? When I see Chinese (trad/simpl) I am often surprised how different they are to Japanese versions. Like 気 ki “spirit” is written differently in Taiwan.

我想知道汉字在你学习汉语的过程中是什么角色。很多人觉得汉字太难所以只学习汉语口语，有的人不认识汉字但仍能学会流利的口语，我想这样的话他们基本上要和英语单词一样记住一个个常用的汉语词。但汉语里具有意义的最小单元是汉字，如果记住常用的汉字和意义，就可以用这些汉字组合出汉语词并且很容易知道意义。你学习的时候更倾向于哪个呢，是记住一个个汉语词的意思，还是根据汉字组合出他们的意思。
真有意思的一个问题，在我看来没有学汉字的话那怎么能说出来呢。我一开始学新的词语的时候，总是会先了解那个词语由哪个字来组成的啊，看看汉字的偏旁啊什么的才能完全了解那个词语的意义。 所以我念出来的所以词都会认识。我真不了解那些不认识字就能说出流利的中文的人哈哈，因为中文有太多同音词嘛，同样发出来的字就好容易搞混，还有这样学习汉语就没有意义吧。
