In fact, I’m surprised I’m not posting this at the end of a long list of other thank you messages. You’ve given some very sound advice. I’ve been studying Chinese for about 28 days. Yep, days. I knew my goals weren’t the same as the usual language learner. But after a lot of research and reading *about* learning Chinese this past month (alongside actual lessons!), I’ve realized that the majority of serious-not-a-one-time-tourist-to-China language learners are students or young-ish business travelers. I’m neither. So I thank you for your tips on basics to concentrate on as a beginner. I think these will really help me to progress by dodging some frustrations. 谢谢
