No its absolute mistake,if you want to chinese, first :the most important factor was learn how to speak? in fact if you should have a chinese language partner as well,its better than youself-learning,whether you are inetresting on waht i said,i am a chinese boy,once you are decide to learn chinese,we could arrange free time everyd day to learn at each other (exchange lanaguage), i belive that even every day only taking one hour or two hours to learn chinese is a immensive improvement ,look forward your reply, if you are convient,please left your private contacting ingormation in order to arrange and appointed time to learn ,my private cell-phone:+086 18251118297 ,eager to you reply ,by the way my name was Ace good luck for you
