The beginner level of the archive. The same archive is also cut by skill, with listening, speaking, reading, writing and vocabulary sections.
Visit linkThe blog is about how to learn Mandarin rather than what to study. Posts tackle why you are learning, how to stop translating in your head, how to get through a first semester of Chinese, dictation tests, and the limits of AI tools for pronunciation feedback. The archive is cut by level and by skill, and by topics such as immersion and integration, learning in class and outside it, and study hacks.
