Road Map to Success
General Direction 1: Follow the road map below to learn Chinese by levels:
Pinyin ⇒ HSK0 ⇒ HSK1 ⇒ HSK2 ⇒ HSK3 ⇒ HSK4 ⇒ HSK5 ⇒ HSK6
NOTE Pinyin is just a tool for you to know the sound of a word. Your main goal is to recongize Chinese character or word.
Pinyin is just one part of three things you should know about a word, i.e. image, meaning and sound. Since Chinese character is technically a picture, you need to spend more time to
rememorize it; and try not to use pinyin as much as you can.
Pinyin is like a name of a person. When you want to familiarize yourself with a person, you should meet the person and know how he/she looks like and have conversations instead of just
rememorize the names.
General Direction 2: At each level from 1 to 6, learn Chinese words by learning words in a text:
Learn new words ⇒ Understand text ⇒ Read aloud of words, sentences ⇒ Do exercise
NOTE When learning words, pay more attention to their images and analyze them so that you can write them. Also pay attention to the tone of the words.
Since Chinese have 4 different tones, and many foreigners do not have similar experience, it is easy to make mistakes. Try to imitate the pronunciation as much as you can.
