❤️ After 6 months of self-studying Mandarin at home in lockdown, I passed my HSK 4 exam with 99% and can hold a basic conversation with a native speaker. My Chinese is currently at an intermediate level - it's far from perfect and I have a LOT left to learn, but here's an overview of how I planned my studying and the resources I'd most recommend! :) I hope this helps you with your Chinese learning journey, and please let me know in the comments if you'd like more language learning content as I have lots more ideas to share if you're interested! :)
