When I was considering starting to learn Chinese more seriously and investing time in it, I asked myself if it was worth it. I wisely thought that it would be enough for me to learn a few phrases from audio materials and maybe I would be able to chat with someone sometimes in Chinese sometimes. I faithfully ruled out the possibility that I could not even learn written Chinese signs.
Honestly, I don't know to much mandarin characters either now. But compared to a previous situation, the current situation is already showing a change. Yes, it may seem a bit comical when I recognize just a few characters in a longer text, like {8}, but it’s still a sense of success for me.
I think that was my faulty type of learning philosophy from point A to point B. Writing is an integral part of language. It may be more important to go down the road than to get somewhere. The point is to deal with it, practice it in every possible way, with diligent consistency, or with playful laxity, whichever is more appropriate.
The point is to scroll things forward …
With best regards,
