My co-laborer over at the Gospel in China blog recently finished a short series on the “Do’s and Don’t or Learning Chinese.” He has been one of my mentors in learning the Chinese language and I appreciate and value his advice.
If you are interested in learning Chinese, then these four post are definitely worth your time.
Do’s and Don’t’s of Learning Chinese
#1 DO NOT LEARN CHARACTERS FIRST, DO STUDY GRAMMAR.
#2 DO NOT MEMORIZE VOCABULARY, DO DRILL TONES.
#3 DO NOT TRUST A SCHOOL TO TEACH YOU, DO HIRE YOUR OWN HELPER.
