I’ve just shared a quick 3-minute video about learning Mandarin without feeling overwhelmed. It’s for anyone who’s ever thought: - “I don’t know what I should be focusing on” - “I’m doing a bit here and there but not making progress” - “I don’t have loads of time to study” In the video, I explain: - why Mandarin often feels confusing at the start - what actually helps you make progress - why a weekly focus works better than trying to do everything every day If you’re unsure what to work on next, this should help. No pressure, just something I think will make things feel clearer 😊 What do you struggle with most right now?

大家好！Hi everyone! 2025年快结束了！2025 is nearly over/finished. I will be celebrating New Year’s Eve with my family. I’ll also think about my goals for 2026 and if I’ve met my goals for this year! (Both language-related and otherwise). (我会和家人过新年，也会想一想我2026年的目标是什么。。。） How is everyone celebrate the New Year? (你们怎么过新年？）🎉

My family came to visit me, and I visit them... not so much time online these days...
