I’ve been going through each episode of the slow Chinese podcast sentence by sentence. The above image is taken from the first episode of the podcast. I highlighted the characters that I knew beforehand. Even without a concentrated effort to learn the characters, I understand 56% of them.
I’m going to tackle Japanese AND Mandarin Chinese! Whilst my Chinese studies have been underway since November of last year, January 2010 is the official start of my Japanese language journey. This is my total annihilation challenge (TAC) for the year.
My goal with this exercise is to increase my listening comprehension and increase my ability to think in Chinese in real time.
