🇨🇳 My Chinese Journey — Just Starting

Also part of my public 75-Day Korean & Chinese Challenge — learning both in parallel, daily.

🈶 Characters & Writing

• Outlier Linguistics — excellent breakdowns of character components and origins, makes memorization far less random
• Hanzi grids — practice proper stroke order from day one; bad habits here are hard to undo later

🔊 Pinyin & Tones

• Tones are not optional extra detail — they change word meaning entirely. Drill tone pairs before rushing into vocabulary volume
• Search "Mandarin tone pair drills" for focused practice sets

📖 Grammar

• Chinese Grammar Wiki — clear, point-by-point grammar reference, organized by HSK level

🎧 Listening

• Mandarin Corner — graded content, real conversations slowed for learners
• ChinesePod — structured lessons across levels
