Study Chinese

I started studying Chinese in Autumn 2008 and enrolled a beginner Chinese course at my university in Finland. 1,5 years later I made the decision to move to China. First I studied Chinese as en exchange student at Guangzhou University, but then decided to make Chinese my major. I’m doing my undergraduate degree in Chinese Language at the Sun Yat-Sen University.

When I decided to make my hobby a major, suddenly it wasn’t all fun and easy anymore. Studying Chinese requires some hard work! But luckily there are lots of different kind of tools to help us.

Notice! This page includes affiliate links, which means that if you decide to buy, then I get a small share. But remember that I will only recommend learning tools I sincerely think can help you to study Chinese. Those small commissions I might make are used to pay my tuition fees (or more like a tiny fraction of them). Thank you!

I’m trying to make a habit to use Skritter 15 minutes a day: My Chinese learning goals for 2012: Skritter

Making something into a habit is a hard thing for me, but because I know that Skritter is the best option for me, I’m doing my best with my goal. The most important thing when learning a language is to find the method that works for you and use that.
