A few months ago a website called Learn Mandarin Now interviewed dozens of bloggers writing about China and compiled their tips on learning Chinese into a “How to Learn Chinese”\u00a0infographic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More recently the same website contacted me with some questions about my personal experience learning Chinese, which I answered and they published here: 10 Tips to Learn Chinese<\/a>. Although I wouldn’t change too much if I went back and started all over again, this\u00a0is the kind of advice that I would have been able to benefit greatly from.<\/p>\n

If I could distill everything down to a few even more basic suggestions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Learn Mandarin first<\/li>\n
  2. Write everything down<\/li>\n
  3. Use everything that you write down<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
