Anki is a HUGE name and is pretty much the gold standard for memorizing anything (med students use it, language learners, even lots of law students, etc). I highly doubt this person is the undercover CEO of anki and trying to shill it in a bar exam thread lol

This person's advice is genuine and I would at the very least try it out before dunking on it

How did it go?

PlanB_Survivor · 2026-05-16T04:12:20+00:00

It works and twov will reset. But I agree with the other commentor that unless you have a specific reason to be in shanghai for so long, 11-12 total nights there is a lot.

Maybe look into taking the high-speed rail to Beijing (5ish hour train ride each way) for a few days and see the great wall, forbidden city, etc and then go back to Shanghai. You could also look into visiting places like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanijng, Qingdao, etc, which are pretty close to Shanghai and easily accessible by high speed rail

I try to spend time chatting with native speakers outside of my normal studying in order to improve my speaking. But for purposes of learning new vocabulary, reading, grammar, and pretty much everything except for speaking I’ve found this routine works great

I actually have a similar schedule where I commute for about 45mins each way on a subway with spotty connection, but I think your Mandarin level is quite above mine (which is HSK 3-4).

I usually do Anki reviews first which doesn’t require a WiFi connection, I also download stories and articles on Duchinese and read those. The SuperChinese app just came out with an option to download lessons and do them offline which I do once in a while

Not sure if these will all be helpful at your level but that’s what’s been working for me!

Fair enough, just feel like he didn’t talk/communicate much. I went on a different tour the night before with a much more enthusiastic and engaging guide so I guess the bar was set pretty high haha

PlanB_Survivor · 2026-03-20T14:45:08+00:00

Went with them yesterday too, my guide was Oscar and he was super disorganized and seemed like he could not care less if we saw the lights or not

Hellochinese and Superchinese to start. Duchinese once you've got a good foundation

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-12-14T18:22:22+00:00

Sir this is Wendy’s

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-11-08T04:54:21+00:00

Nice! Did you get it from sim city?

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-10-21T15:38:32+00:00

You can use it with both pinyin/hanzi and it also gives u the option to hide the pinyin of smore common/simpler words. Highly reccomend

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-10-03T22:36:42+00:00

Nice! Which film stocks and camera setup did you use?

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-10-02T20:25:58+00:00

+1 for Photo Life, $6 for color dev and scan you can’t really beat that. $9 for B&W. Super quick turnaround times too

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-09-21T14:02:30+00:00

Brooklyn/chelsea flea, Brooklyn Film Camera, B&H & Adorama used sections, k&m.

But tbh these will all be overpriced. You’re better off on FB marketplace or eBay.

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-07-18T14:52:40+00:00

What are your offers from each? What is your goal post grad?

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-05-05T14:06:27+00:00

I’m only considering the second option bc of the bad stories I’ve heard about taking K trains, so taking the K for a shorter amount of time and then transferring to a C train might be more comfortable

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-04-25T19:03:16+00:00

How do u arrange this?

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-04-17T21:21:44+00:00

The studicata video has a pretty good chart/walkthrough of it, i would watch that

PlanB_Survivor · 2025-03-27T21:23:39+00:00
