At the beginning of a language... Its a daunting task ahead, I'm about to acquire a new language. My effort is towards Chinese (Mandarin), I have my resons but the big one is simply because its the largest language by far. After using various apps and podcast for perhaps 5-6 month, the progress with this approach only goes too far. My conclusion is that further immersion is needed, so now the online sessions with teachers and tutors begin. I have to say "hats off" to the patience and skills of those that chose to teach, it has to be horrible listning to grownups struggling with language at the level of a two year old child for any length of time. However, as a student I having the time of my life. Its super fun and exiting to experience a new language unfold, and a bit annoyed I did not start this earlier!

At the beginning of a language...

It's a daunting task ahead; I'm about to acquire a new language.


My effort is towards (this doesn't sound quite right. Maybe "My efforts are focused on...") Chinese (Mandarin); I have my reasons, but the biggest one is simply that it's the largest language by far.
After using various apps and podcast for perhaps 5-6 montsh, the progress with this approach only goes so far. My conclusion is that further immersion is needed, so now the online sessions with teachers and tutors begin.

However, as a student I am having the time of my life. It's super fun and exiting to experience ("watch a new language unfold" or "experience a new language") a new language unfold, and I am a bit annoyed I did not start this earlier!

Good luck with Chinese!
