How I learned to read Chinese in 30 days

For the longest time I avoided reading Chinese characters because it was just so hard, until I tried this, I tried reading the news in Chinese every day for 30 days, this is what happened.

i'm trying to figure out how to read chinese but all i can think about is how much he sounds and looks like zuko.

I studied Mandarin in Taiwan as well but just for 6 months. Anyway, your advice is super helpful and yeah I listen a lot like you have been doing to absorb the words and let my ears get used to the sound. For reading, I feel like it works with me when I attentively read something and come back to read it again after a couple days or a week.

for me i read chinese manhua or manga, i would understand most of the context as i’ve seen most of the story in english. but yeah great job with this. just wondering did you keep notes on vocabulary ? how many times did you read the newspaper in a day? did you make yourself understand it before moving on?

How many characters did you know when you started the challenge? What many characters would you recommend for the challenge?

What was the trick you used to improve your Chinese reading?

[Mankemacho]

I can recommend putting your phone in Chinese. I put it in Taiwanese mandarin, now most of the news that I get displayed on my phone is automatically from Taiwan in Chinese.

你練習的文章感覺超難XD Don't be upset if you can't read it. The article you picked is the complicate one.

Hi Dan, I'm frustrated. I installed Zhongwen Popup Dictionary in Firefox and ZhongZhong extension in Chrome Browser but I can't get any dictionary popup when I hover the mouse over characters in some videos. What videos will this work with ? Only those with CC subtitles in Chinese ? Thanks :)
