Find out the best ways that have helped you achieve your success in grasping any language and apply them into learning mandarin,
Do it correctly even if slowly rather than do it brokenly but quickly
Always believe where there is a will, there is a way.
If you grasp 500-800 Chinese words, you could survive in China,
If you grasp 1000-2000 Chinese words, you could be basically fluent in daily conversation
If you grasp 2000-4000 Chinese words, you could be fluent in daily mandarin
If you grasp 4000+Chinese words, you could use your mandarin as a working language
Ask your teacher to teach you only 10 new words per hourly session, and make sure you practise these words enough so that you can pronounce and use them correctly and handily,
Constantly review the words and expressions you have learned, remmeber if you repeat/use one word 27 times against “ the forgetting curve of Ebbinghaus ” , then you will never forget that word throughout your life.
The easiest way for reviewing your mandarin words with the teacher is to make sentences with words and read to the teacher to see if the teacher can understand you...
