Mandarin in 15 Minutes Per Day
Hello All. A friend of mine has just issued me a challenge to see how much Mandarin we could each learn studying 15 minutes each day for 1 year. I was wondering what types of resources, especially free online resources, might be good specifically for studying only a few minutes a day. I had a look at the DLI Basic course and I will also look at the FSI course and the Peace Corps course as well. We won't be studying intensely, just as a small hobby and an experiment in learning a very unfamiliar language.

Re: Mandarin in 15 Minutes Per Day
I put a lot of resources here in my old log:
https://forum.language-learners.org/vie ... f=15&t=695
There is a long list in Reineke's master list of resources.

Good luck. I think if you do 15 minutes EVERY day then you'll learn quite a bit since that is 91 hours of study.

Re: Mandarin in 15 Minutes Per Day
Getting app to learn is useful. But have to be consistent which means daily learning. Make it short and sweet. If too long you will get bored. I able to memorize 300 words by using an app alone. I guess if we know 1000-2000 characters, you are effectively good in Mandarin
