S T U D Y L I S T S So, I have decided to re-start learning Mandarin Chinese - and by that I mean start from the beginning and work my way up. I want to start by making vocabulary lists each week. The following week I will try to use the vocabulary from the previous week as much as possible (as well as any previous vocabulary!) before making a new list for the next week. I WILL POST MY VOCAB PRACTICE AND A NEW LIST EVERY MONDAY! I am hoping this method will help me to learn both written and spoken Chinese better, and with the help of my language exchange partner, I will be able to actually speak and ask questions every week. Follow along with my lists if you would like - I'd love to hear how your studies are going! WE'VE GOT THIS! OK - time to start figuring out my first list! -Lauren
