ooh good question! one thing i tell my tutoring students is to find chinese media u really like and it will encourage u to learn more and more! dramas and music work wonders for motivation! graded readers are great too for learning within hsk guidelines, but probably not as fun lol. on top of that, it always helps to build a routine. even if u sit down for 10mins a day to practice writing characters, ones u already know and new ones, you’ll see improvement with vocab retention really fast! i really hope u keep up with it!! you’ve got this 🥺💓💞💕
