Hi, I live in Hong Kong and I want to learn Chinese (Mandarin).
Now, I've been here for well over a decade (almost two), so I know a little of this and that. I also know how people treat Mandarin around here (needless to say, I find it difficult to practice it in HK).
What I do is I write down only characters and only pinyin, several times, over and over, speaking and pronouncing them, looking up the pronounciation on the apps and the internet, I also make sure I do the strokes the right way so it becomes automatic. Seems to work okay, except that maybe there is a better way to do this?
I am not impressed by the work of most tutors that I have seen and most of them are interested in spending time on the chat, rather than professionally teaching the language, whilst all the proper schools are far away from me and are prohibitively expensive.
So, maybe you guys can suggest some kind of method that works with self-studying? All I have are some dictionaries and my memories from 2009 when I've taken up the course for 3 months (but it was one of those "expat" ones we had to take in university, so it only taught you pinyin and some basic conversation).
I suppose the level of proficiency I would be happy with is something along the lines of a professional speaker, so I could take HSK at a highest level and get close to perfect marks.
TIA
