Hi, glad to join you! I'm Jane from China. I love travelling and have been to Thailand, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Antarctica. I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago, currently live in Tassie. My first job was in an online mandarin school where students are learning on skype with teachers. In my opinion, for people who are over 12 years old, the best way to learn a new language is think how the native speakers think. If you are translating in mind, you will never be able to catch up with the normal speed of native speakers. Unfortunately many people are still learning with wrong mindset.
