>>3044650ok sense you don't want to show bussy here it is anyways, in no particular order
1. there are thousands of characters in chinese, learning them isn't as hard as you think; most characters stem from a couple of something we call "radicals". there are about 214 chinese radicals from which most of the chinese script is derived. learn the radicals before learning the characters themselves. (see image 1)
2. chinese grammar is ridiculously easy, don't stress about it
3. never spend time writing characters by hand because that's useless in the modern age. learn how to use they're keyboards (note: radicals are often what is used to build characters in keyboards)
4. learn the phonation (tones) from the beginning so that you don't have to fix your pronunciation later on in your journey (image 2)
5. make use of the hsk: china's official learning track of vocabulary for those who want to take a proficiency test (image 3)
6. use the apps of china like wechat (image 4)
7. don't be overwhelmed, it's actually simple once you set specific goals and can maintain a pace of learning
