Day 5 to 19: Houston we have a problem...

By tsitsi,


Reading and Writing

First it was camp, I did spend 30 minutes reading out there in the bundu on the du app... that's something

Then I cam back and I just could not figure out where to begin

Then a week passed...

Then I printed the first 200 characters from a frequency list -> so many new words spent some time on the first 30 or so

Then I read from Du a bit

Then I thought maybe a need a copy book, so went on Amazon and ordered a few... they arrived yesterday, So spent time on 1 characters...

 

To say I am behind is an understatement. Basically wasted half a month. Lets see what I can salvage in the last few days

 

Total Time spent

Reading: 1 hour 30 min

Writing: 1 hour 25min

 

Characters I can write approx 30

Day 3 and 4: Weekend of nothing

By tsitsi,


Reading and Writing

Well not quite nothing, I practiced one character that counts right? We are off camping tomorrow so I will take my study material with me... just not sure how much will get done over the next three days with minions in tow. Maybe I should find the characters for marshmallows and smores and write those ?

Challenge 2: Reading and writing level up! Day 1

By tsitsi,


Reading and Writing
So to get going again I am starting a new challenge. I've had a 3 week break so it's time to consolidate and build up areas that I did not focus on before. I will also be beginning Korean this month but real slow. I know my target speeds are ambitious... but that's what makes it a challenge
Challenge 2: Reading and writing level up!
handwriting and typing all HSK3 600 characters in 1 month -> target speed of 40 characters per minute and reading well, to read an HSK 3 book by month end -> target speed of 40 characters per minute  
Today I was gathering materials and making a game plan.
Found tons of writing practice PDF's work on minimum 20 characters a day, writing, typing I will finish the HSK 3 course on coursera. I will work on Hello Chinese again, use sticky study ever so often to keep my vocab. My English typing is slow so I'll be training to touch type as well, else I'll never get to typing 40 chars a minute I'm going through character book reviews to see if I'll like to use any of them I will use learning with texts - I'll use a lot of songs I've come to love and poetry and idioms, yes this will be extra vocab that I don't know but I enjoy the material more so... I will use new reading sites e.g. little fox, chairmans bao, duchinese, dong chinese join the tadoku reading challenge also add anki sentences into the mix  
Worked on the first 20 characters.
