Emphasize Vocabulary Memorization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are also learning how to write it and read it. Set a\ngoal, maybe 5 or 10 words a day. Definitely spending time building the\nvocabulary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where to find new vocabulary? In the beginning, it\u2019s pretty\neasy since you often got your textbooks and learn some basic things. You just\nneed to create a foundation of yourself. For advanced learners, get more videos\nand movies to learn real life conversation and vocabulary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Write New Vocabulary Words Over and Over Again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no short-cut. If you don\u2019t write it again and again, you\nwill forget how it looks like. Open your target vocabulary list and set a\nlearning goal. Write the target word down. And if you don\u2019t want to forget the\ntone of the word, you can just write the mark right on the top of the\ncharacter. In this way, you can constantly remind yourself of the tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Get Decently Reviewed Textbooks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2BhmvwH\">Practical Audio-Visual Chinese Series \u300a\u5be6\u7528\u8996\u807d\u83ef\u8a9e\u300b<\/a>&nbsp;(Taiwanese &#8211; Traditional Characters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.digmandarin.com\/boya-chinese\/\">Boya\nChinese Series \u300a\u535a\u96c5\u6c49\u8bed\u300b<\/a>(Simplified\nCharacters) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Learn Simplified Characters Over Traditional Characters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Don\u2019t Stop and Write Down Every Unknown Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No need to pause and write down every unknown word at the\nfirst time. It\u2019s easy to get bored. Watch a 15mins or 20 mins video clips and\ngo back watch it again. Do it as often as possible. Gradually you will find\nthat your brain has already started recognizing those patterns without even\nwriting down them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Practicing Speaking with Natives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the opportunities staying in the original\nlanguage environment, there are many choices online. Professional tutors online\nare highly recommended. If you just want to have a casual talk, you could also\ngo to the community tutors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Invest A Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help you with the foundation creation.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8.
