I have been taking Mandarin classes at university. Due to illness I have missed a lot and fallen way behind. Now I wish to continue learning on my own.
I find it very hard to remember the characters. Because I am a senior, is there any hope, or am I too old to learn and remember the characters? Are there resources that simplify this? These are the texts we were using:
Integrated Chinese Textbook Simplified Character 中文听说读写 (3rd Edition)
( Level 1, Part 1)Integrated Chinese Workbook Simplified Character 中文听说读写 (3rd Edition) (Level 1, Part 1)
Integrated Chinese Character Book Simplified and Traditional Characters 中文听说读写 (3rd Edition) (Level 1, Part 1)
I lack the opportunity to interact with Mandarin-speaking individuals. What are good online resources for hearing Mandarin spoken, so that I can become more aware of how to speak and pronounce it correctly?
Thank you.
