ä½ å„½ļ¼hello! so this is my first masterpost and i decided to make a masterpost on chinese since i am currently learning chinese and have been since i was around 5. i havenāt seen very many chinese masterposts here and hoped this will help every single one of you who are currently learning chinese or would like to start learning!!Ā
chinese tools learn chinese - they have 31 lessons!
bbc learn chinese - several different sources
memrise - iāve heard lots of good things about this site!!
quizlet - great for grammar, flashcards, i used this at school since my chinese teacher made sets for use to learn!
CCTV learning chinese - CCTV is a chinese tv broadcaster, this has a lot of videos you can watch
mandarin chinese pinyin chart with audio - awesome chart of pinyin and tones
you could also find a chinese ethnic school near you, this is what i did but i know many non-chinese who choose to go to a chinese school since you are surrounded by others who are also at your level and you have a teacher in person to teach and guide you. having native chinese speakers around you is definitely helpful and it will help you develop listening and speaking skills! :)

try to make learning chinese fun!! watching tv shows in chinese with or without subs will definitely help you pick up on some vocab and pronunciation
engage with native speakers, if you have chinese friends, ask them to help you with conversation and pronunciation, donāt be shy!
try to use at least one word/phrase in a sentence each day, this will help you in future for making sentences
keep on practicing! i stopped learning chinese for 2 years and i actually lost a lot of vocab that i learnt and when i started again, it was hard to remember some of it ;A;
