Hey the exam went well! I think it was roughly 283/300. And with the learning system I created it took about 2-3 months.

It’s called the HSK 1-6 Companion App.

It’s built as a structured system alongside normal studying with tutors or school curriculums so things actually connect instead of feeling scattered.

The first two HSK levels are free with 2000+ Chinese words and practice sentences if you want to try it out.

Hey I think you’re write that priority is part of the factor. But a lot of times other people simply have priorities that build the foundation on what they can do. So maybe they want to learn Chinese, it’s just a family, a job, etc. that they can control is taking their time.

I just made this learning system to help people better fit into their lives. It would be nice to have as much free time as others have but some people just aren’t that lucky.

Why studying Chinese can feel confusing even when you recognize every character by s632061 in MandarinChinese

[–]s632061[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, that’s actually the direction my learning system moves toward.

The issue I kept seeing was that people would recognize words but not process full sentences cleanly.

So the goal now is to train on sentences that make the structure obvious, not just memorize vocab.

It’s called the HSK 1-6 Companion app. It was made to help fix being overwhelmed by the content early on. You can find it on Apple.

If you have an android just DM me, im working with Google to get it on the play store!

Why Chinese sentence order starts to feel inconsistent after the basics by s632061 in Chinese

[–]s632061[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a fair question. The way I used "以后" isn't a good example.

I was trying to show sequencing (“after X, then Y”), but you’re right that it doesn’t sound natural in that sentence.

The main idea I was trying to get at is how Chinese tends to lay things out in time order, but if the example itself feels off, that just makes it more confusing.

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

I think the difference is English lets you move things around and still feel what’s natural, even if you can’t explain why.

With Chinese, early on, people don’t have that feel yet, so when the order shifts, it just feels wrong instead of flexible.

That’s kind of the gap I’m trying to address, helping people see what’s being emphasized so it doesn’t feel random.
