My goal will be to learn Mandarin Chinese and traditional Chinese characters. Specifically, to read a newspaper, write and type, and converse well-enough to (for example) ask meaningful questions at a museum.<\/p>\n

\n+ Learn zhuyin and pinyin<\/a>
\n+ Practice tones and tone pairs<\/a>
\n+ Develop comfort zones, \u8212\u9069\u5340<\/span><\/a>
\n+ Beginner: children shows (like \u6211\u5728\u54ea\u88e1<\/a>, Magic Marker<\/a>)
\n+ Intermediate: subtitled shows (like Happy Chinese<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u8b80\u5beb<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u4e0d\u5efa\u8b70<\/span><\/h2>\n

These are resources that I tried, but ultimately found to be lacking.<\/p>\n

\n+ Michel Thomas, unfun and sleepy, misleading explanation of tones
\n+ Pimsleur, boring, bad audio
\n+ ChineseSkill app, too buggy, unfun
\n+ ChinesePod app, giant advertisement asking for money
