I started learning Mandarin in June 2021. I studied on my own for a year, then I started taking weekly classes at the local Confucius Institute, and since last year I've also been practicing with private tutors on iTalki.

If you are a complete beginner looking for resources, I recommend you start learning Chinese with the app HelloChinese and the podcast Coffee Break Chinese. I also recommend using the Pleco dictionary app.
The apps I’m currently using are SuperChinese (replaced HelloChinese as my main app after I finished all the lessons there; unfortunately it’s paid) and Dot (for reading). I also used Duolingo for quite a while; I found it helpful for maintaining consistency and reinforcing things I’d learned before, but I would not recommend it as a main learning tool! Tofu was my favorite app for character recognition and writing practice but it's been discontinued, I'm searching for an alternative... might give Anki another try.
I share daily journaling prompts in Chinese, you can find them at my journaling prompts tag. You could use them as writing or speaking practice.
You can also check out my resources tag.
And this is how I learned the tones!
