What do you think about lingq and doing this with the mini stories

[@themultilingualmind7296]

Oo I still haven’t tried lingq yet but I might have to check it out later and report back : ) I’m guessing their mini stories are pretty well crafted but I haven’t seen them yet. Some graded readers out there can really not be useful for learners depending on how they’re written.

I think what you are struggling with may be the grammar as the sentence structure is different to Chinese language .
Please don't give up on it . Instead go to a simpler level of English and try to learn how to use the English dictionary as this will help you with the meanings of words . Listening to spoken English is maybe another problem for you and perhaps listening to simpler speech which is aimed at a beginner standard of the language and then slowly work up to more complex examples .
The reason that children are taught at a simple level is because this method works ! Best wishes from England and good luck with your studies .

@@themultilingualmind7296 Agreed , when I first started trying to learn Mandarin I looked at the books and thought it would be impossible to learn , but I made flash cards with the Hanzi on one side and the pin yin and English on the other and wrote words although I did not understand them at all and gradually have increased the vocabulary and understanding of the language .
