Learning Mandarin

I am considering learning mandarin.

• listen/speak: pimsleur
• coursera
• chatgpt (for practice/examples including how to write text from pimsleur) (unreliable - needs fact-checking)
• dictionaries for fact-checking
• anki for remembering symbols

Later watch videos with pinyin|ideogram subtitles, and listen audio to level up.

Tools:

• ChatGPT (Good for practising with, but needs to be fact-checked)
• dictionaries:https://hanziyuan.net/ https://wiktionary.org http://www.zdic.net/
• Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/hanzi, https://www.coursera.org/learn/hsk-1, https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-chinese-mandarin#instructors, https://www.coursera.org/learn/mandarin-chinese-1)
• Pimsleur
• Anki
• (Videos + subtitles + articles + Audio + online VR/voice-chat later)

Progress:

• March 14 2023: Setting up pinyin input methods, and played a bit with chatgpt ca. 1-2 hours. Start loggging progress
• January - March 13 2023: listening to Pimsleur audio course, first 6 lessons, probably 4-5 hour in total.
