❤️ In this highly requested video I'll share my exact learning plan and top tips for self-studying Chinese in limited time. I'm currently in my final year studying medicine at Cambridge, and so don't have as much spare time as I'd like to dedicate to learning Mandarin. This means that I have to be very efficient with my Mandarin learning time - and so here are my top tips on how to learn Chinese effectively by yourself for free and on a part-time basis.
Hello everyone, welcome to my channel.
If you want to learn Chinese but have very limited time, then this video is perfect for you.
Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn, especially if you want to learn it quickly.
I am in my final year of studying for the exam.
I am also balancing my medical studies with learning Chinese at home.
Today I would like to share with you my plan for learning Chinese this year.
I'm currently studying medicine in Cambridge, so I'm quite busy and don't have much time to study Chinese.
I will share all the resources I use, as well as how I plan my time.
I'm currently within my student budget, so all of these will fit perfectly within budget.
You only need a computer and a network connection to get started.
Some space is in your hands, and much momentum keeps focus on the goal.
So, as usual, I'm putting the schedule below,
So you can skip some parts about things you're interested in.
First, I will discuss goal setting.
And how I plan to study Chinese,
Then I will discuss how to construct my learning.
And how to learn spoken language.
Finally, I will discuss how to practice speaking.
And listen carefully.
So, let's start recording the video.
First, you must set some goals.
And plan how to learn.
This is extremely important to me.
Although I have been studying Chinese all along,
And frankly, I believe much of my progress
It is based on a highly structured plan I established.
And my main goal is to follow it.
First of all, you must consider when setting your goals,
Why are you learning Chinese?
Write down a short list,
You can take a look somewhere.
If you feel lethargic,
Or if you don't feel excited about learning,
Because in reality, being able to learn a language,
and have the time and resources to do this thing,
It is a great honor.
And I feel extremely fortunate,
I have the time and resources to learn Chinese.
This is something I often need to remind myself of.
Therefore, write these things down somewhere.
Why do you want to learn a language?
And the exciting things for you
Regarding language,
It is extremely important.
Second,
When learning a language,
You must decide your goal.
So for me,
My goal is
Communication capability
When talking to people
and data intelligence,
Basically able to understand
Any Chinese text message
Or comment
or any similar Chinese websites,
So this means
For me,
First,
Being able to talk with people,
This includes
Speak
Hearing and speech
and understanding,
Second,
Being able to read
And the recognized character.
I have decided.
Learn to write by practicing on your hands
Because I realized
This will take me a lot of time.
Be able to
Understanding language
and learn the language itself
How to use it
And also
How to write it by hand
All rows and columns
With everything
This might cost me
Twice the time
Progress in Chinese
And this is not it
The skills I must use
Because
Most communication
These past few days
They are all through reading books.
and using
Number keypad
So for me
As long as I am able to
Know the characters
And use
Number keypad
That is enough.
If you are not familiar with
Number keypad
Basically, they are
Generally
Reading Keyboard
When using the numeric keypad
Of course then
If you could
Know; recognize
Correct character
And select it
Then you are able to
Actually
Using Chinese
That is enough.
I am using the numeric keypad.
So if writing
It's you.
Something deeply cherished
Then go and try it.
But to me
I realized
In my extremely limited time
I want to focus on
My progress in China
on something very important
This is basically
Improved me
Communication skills
and I am able to
In real life
Or
Communication
Phase Three Plan
It's just that I have one
Large Excel signature
I have allocated all the resources
Use it to track
All my progress
And able to see
My progress
Through various means
Anki Project
or various language lists
It's extremely thrilling.
And it reminds me of
Wherever I go
At the end of the video
Once I start talking about
The various resources I use
I'll put them together.
And demonstrate how to use it for me
My Excel signature
Come track my progress
Of course
Just skip ahead随意.
If you are interested in this
Therefore, in actual resources
And the way I learn
First of all
The structure I am using
HSK is
It means
Chinese Course
HSK Course
Very professional
So I plan to
I plan, I plan, I plan
At the HSK Level 5 stage
By 2022
Let's take a look.
I am currently at the HSK Level 4 stage.
So this means
I will learn approximately 1,300 new languages.
and be able to use them
In the sentence
The resources I use
Of course, it's HSK.
Textbook
And books
Every weekend
I plan to write a chapter.
Or a chapter of a book
Each chapter
Because I'll have a little bit
More time
On the weekend
rather than on weekends
When I am busy with
During my medical school studies
And in actual practice
Learning a language
And in this regard
I will use
Two Anki Decks
An Anki Deck
Mainly studying and reading books
And recognize the character
and through the HSK language
Let me know
I intend to learn.
About 10 new characters
This might be a bit
Potential
But I will set it high
Then I might
Reduce this
If I'm too busy
Then I will try to
Re-upgrade
When I have more
Free time
So I won't
Overworking
If I can't
Learn 10 new characters
But I will
Gently set
Life of course will have difficulties.
Especially when we
Try learning a language
Part-time (job)
To compensate for my Anki Deck
I really like it
A website called MDBG
This is an online
Reading Chinese texts aloud
And Pleco
This is a great one
E-book reading software for mobile phones
I still have one more
Second Anki Deck
SpoonFedChinese
This is excellent.
It's basically
All languages
Reading Chinese texts aloud
With a local speaker
Read it out loud
And it is translated
These are very suitable.
Immersed in language
Then gradually absorb
And very naturally
So I will be with
Another Anki deck together
I will also set it up
About 10 new characters
Next
When it comes to speaking
Practice speaking
It is extremely, extremely important.
If you want to
Actually able to
Conversation
Because learning a language
Theoretically, everything is perfect.
But if you can't use it
You cannot actually
Talk to others
And communicate with others
Then
This knowledge
It will be locked inside your mind.
So you really do need to practice.
Speak
And put it into practice
And put the sentences together
Don't worry
Made a mistake
Because
The last day
Speak a language
Not for perfection
but rather in order to be able to
Express oneself
Connect with others
Even local languages
Frequently makes mistakes
This is not a problem.
rather than
Communication
So
I highly, highly recommend it.
You should also practice speaking.
This is mine.
Do your best every week
To study
There might be some challenges.
But I think
It's worth it.
So
To practice speaking
I wish
Let's have a weekend chat
A local Chinese language speaker
About an hour
Of course
This would be more ideal.
If only I could do more
But
Once again
The time limit is real.
What I intend to do is
Every week
I will make a chapter.
Standard HSK Textbook
I wish
It might bring several things.
From that chapter
Let's chat
Our weekend Chinese chat
Past
I found these local languages
Let's chat
It is
iTalki
or other language exchange websites
I have an entire video
Actually, when it comes to saying it...
How do you find
Set up perfect language communication
I'll add a link.
To that video
As a choice
Find a language partner
You can also find
A real teacher
On italki
or other websites
or in real life
I occasionally teach English.
I have
A written-down plan
I think it's a great plan.
Very useful
In many situations
Extremely fundamental linguistic knowledge
That's why I often use
These plans
and bring them to
My Chinese Class
This has thus formed a very good
Signs or clues
Dialogue on Negotiation
Below, I will add a link.
To my plan
Just in case
What do you think of these plans?
It will be helpful for your own language learning.
Finally
The Ultimate Difficulty
When it comes to me
Chinese Learning This Year
The content that can be understood
These are extremely important.
And in fact, they actually
It is a good approach.
To enhance your language learning
In a
Very interesting
And also a very enjoyable way
This word
Understandable content
Basically means
Language
You are able to understand
And it is something you can understand
You can understand its meaning.
But you don't fully understand.
Every language
or linguistic structure
Used inside
This basically means
The overall meaning
and language
Type
It is something you can understand.
But there are several parts
You are not familiar with
This will help your mind.
Understand
These new ones are unfamiliar.
Structure or language
Linguistically coherent
You can naturally
Absorb them more quickly
The two main approaches I plan to take this year
The first
Just listening to a podcast
In the past
I have heard many things before.
Chinese Learning Podcast
That's great.
But I have noticed
When I don't have much time
Sometimes it's more convenient.
As long as there is one main podcast
I can reprint
Don't worry.
Which one?
How do I feel today?
So this year
I think
I'll keep it simple
and focus exclusively on
Listen to many Chinese podcasts
Because I really love these things
They have a Chinese learning podcast.
For each level
Chinese language learners
From beginner
Beginner
middle school student
Until the senior lecturer
They will often
Through a conversation
Then separate them
Talk about any cultural aspect
Any new language
I really like it very much
Their podcast
That's why I will
Integrate these
In my daily life
Every morning
In my daily routine, I play
This is a method.
Let me be able to
Focused on
And ensure
I have no reason
Not doing it
As long as I stay true to myself
Everyday everyday
I wish
Listened to one episode
Podcast
I often find
My strongest reason
In my
A Day of Learning Chinese
It's just that I don't have time.
So if I
Focus on me
Podcast
Time spent listening
My Morning Routine
I really have no reason
I put it in the background
I brush my teeth.
Dress up
All of these
Then I hope
Some Chinese
Integrate these
Of course
There are many others
Excellent Podcast
Outside
Choose the one that suits you best
Then go do it
Second type
Understandable content
I will do this this year.
It is a television program.
So these two
Very good
Chinese language learning
And also
Truly absorb
The Sound of Language
And obtain
These understandings
Second
Also
Very interesting
On Netflix
Currently
There are many
Good
Ordinary
Chinese programs
I use
A Chrome software
called
Language Reactor
This software
Previously it was
Netflix for learning languages
But recently
Reinvolvement
In reality
When you
Watch Netflix
Use this software
It will appear.
Two subtitles
A person who is
Your goal is to learn the language.
In this case
English
Then
Smaller
Below
In
Your local language
In my case
English
That is why there will be
Chinese and English subtitles
On television broadcast
There are still some other features.
Make you stop
Each television program
To ensure you
Understand it
And also
Slow it down a bit.
This is very helpful.
In
Truly understanding television programs
And
Understand
What they said
Because
Sometimes I find
When I was just looking
A Chinese television program
Some
Chinese language
I completely missed it
But
These subtitles
I can
Always stop
and in fact
Look
Chinese language
If you skip it
Certain languages
Or click on them
It is about
Language Definition
These languages
Therefore
Very helpful
I'll put it down
Link in the description below
For
This cooperation
My Chinese Learning Plan
I think
I don't need it.
So many
Encourage
Look
More
Interesting
Chinese programs
So
I wish
This one will
Naturally
Occur
Maybe if I felt
Like
From other jobs
Then I can
Take a look at some
China Television
As a form of
Professional role-playing
Or perhaps just
A kind of relaxation
And
Slowly
In a busy day
I just started
Watch
Two new ones
Cantonese program
On Netflix
A certain person named
Take my brother away
The other one is called
The rise of phoenixes
So
Them
Put together
This is mine
Excel
Master's Plan

As
My Goal Setting

Put them all in one place.
Finally
On the far right

Very beautiful
So when I study
English

I've put them all here.
This is a great record.

Some days just don't go well.
But overall
You are still making progress.
You can see it very clearly
On this notebook
I can see your progress.
As you feel it
You can look back.
This is a great record.
Even in those days
You don't seem to be feeling well.
You will look back
You'll be completely fine.
