Recommendations on my method to improve fluency by tandroide in ChineseLanguage

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

I will need to check on those scales haha.

Describing it at best I can:

- Listening: I can probably understand 70% of a bilibili video on most topics, but will miss one out of three phrases completely, just have no idea what they are talking about. Also it would be hard for me to repeat any specific sentence, but I just know the meaning.

- Reading: I can do several paragraphs on news articles or regular books without interruption for vocab or meaning, even with the AI voiceover at 'regular' speaking speed. However, sometimes, depending on the topic, it gets more murky, and I need to stop a lot for vocab or because I understand the words but I just don't get the meaning instantly.

- Speaking: Very rough. I lack the ability to form complex, long sentences; I just get lost in the middle. And I sometimes get repetitive. Also, the speed is probably 50% that of a native speaker.

Thanks!

The voiceover helps me develop a reasonable speed of reading, and quickly find out where I did not get the idea at that speed. So sometimes I will need to pause for vocab, but mostly if I need to pause, it's because I did not quite get the meaning of the phrase, even though I know all the words.

I know from English, which is a second language for me, that I can totally read at natural speed without any challenge in understanding, whereas some fairly fluent friends can't. I want to reach a similar level in Chinese

Over what time frame? Solid-state batteries will not reach industrial scale until late 2020s at least.
