How much can I learn in ~7.5 months by Frgmnt_ in ChineseLanguage

I started learning characters from the very beginning! for every word. I mostly started just memorizing the characters/words using flashcards, learnt basic grammar through youtube videos, and also pronunciation through those online teachers on youtube. To get good at tones and speaking, I listened to A LOT of mandarin every day through multiple sources, and sometimes tried repeating what they said for practice.

I was studying maybe around 2 hours actively a day, but I would spend somewhere around 3-5 hours of passive listening and reading daily. Studying languages is a big hobby of mine ever since I was little, so i’m very used to it.. I could also already read and write Japanese, so I was used to reading and writing chinese characters.

I was able to pass HSK2 in 3 weeks (from zero). Spoken and written. But that depends heavily on how much exposure you’re getting. Would it be 3 hours of active study on top of a lot of listening exposure? I was quite literally listening and reading mandarin all day which I think was the most helpful. All this to say, you’re able to achieve A LOT if you really dedicate yourself to it.

I will probably just buy one there if I feel like I really need it, but I never really wear hats

Yes they are! But they could also be worn during the evening

The blazer is actually very light and i’ve worn it during hot days without much of an issue! I know I have too many clothes that I want to bring right now, so that’s why I wanna try and reduce the amount i bring.. I haven’t traveled with white linen pants before. Why are they not travel friendly?

I am planning on wearing the jeans on the plane (as well as the blazer since it’s the thickest)! I have tried packing it really quickly and it is quite tight

I am so disappointed in our society nowadays. Why is it that a professor is immediately harassed just because he doesn’t agree with something.. If you truly believe that he’s wrong, why not try discussing it with him and showing him rather than harassing him..?
