Sorry but i disagree, tones are everything in Chinese—skip out on mastering them, and you’ll always sound like a “foreigner” no cap! Vocab is just gradual accumulation, but if you miss the boat on your fundamentals, your Chinese can be off the charts and still not sound natural.

1. Listening instead of studying tones 2. Learn to read and write pinyin, don’t spend too much time perfecting characters 3. Listen listen listen 🎧

我感觉学任何语言都是和本地人交流,不要怕错让对方纠正你,就是熟练度的问题。

only tips that make sense so far, instead of "writing is a waste/study tones"

and also, when you learn enough characters you will be able to recognise the radicals within characters and then you can easily guess the meaning / word group of new words or even the pronunciation 😊

There's so many european said forget about the tone. Not a good advice for everybody, but I feel u european people, the asian tone is hard. But it's important, they might understand u but tone is important broo.

You mentioned just having to be able to tell characters apart, but what about foreigners who do university in China? Wouldn’t they have to need the ability to write them
