General Study Tips
Practice taking notes and typing in Chinese
Look for authentic Chinese materials: You should take advantage of the rich resources available all around you, such as Chinese newspapers, magazines, movies, and books, etc…Be consistent and persistent: it is much more effective if you spend a little bit of time on Chinese every day than if you spend a lot of time all in one day, once a week or month.
