I think you needn't learn traditional chinese hanzi,learn the words that we are using now,don't learn one by one,you shoud learn by using,that's to say learn in a sentence,sentence by sentence ,you can remember the words easily.

Don't learn traditional chinese words,that is not widely used,because traditional Chinese has been shortened for about three times now..

IIthink you should learn Chinese words .by using it in a sentence.Then you can remember easily.the important thing is while you are lisening to it in standard Chinese sound,litsen to CCTV is a good way.

certainly no use.

There are many informal languges in China.there isn't any word with them,just spoken by some place that they are not abble to communicate to other people.when they are as children they speak one kind languge .and then they are in middle school they have to understand another languge.then they are in univercity .they can listn to standard offical Chinese.why so? because there isn't enough offical Chinese teacher to teach them.especaly in the south.now the school in the south ask for many teachers from the north.pay much to them.Many forighn students regret they learn in the wrong place ,in the south!!!

请多照顾。
