I now plan on studying spoken mandarin and not learning any characters. I am going to learn the characters in the summer and that way I will know both, but I figured that I can reach a decent level in conversational mandarin after a few months of daily study. I will also be working with a tutor from China once a week and we will be translating some texts together and working on learning as much pinyin as possible.
Current text that I am trying to translate:
Hello, my name is Harry Ness and my hobbies are language learning and ping pong. I study languages for at least one hour per day. My current goal is to learn to speak Mandarin. I am learning a lot of pinyin and I am finding it challenging. I find it hard, because Mandarin is not like normal European languages.
I know, it looks quite advanced for a few days worth of studying, but I am sure that I will be able to write it on my blog in pinyin in no time at all.
