Comfortable way of learning Chinese effectively

Focusing on oral speaking practice as a primary objective really helped me a lot with gaining confidence and motivation to learn. Not putting so much pressure on character learning, but making it the secondary focus, helped me to progress faster. My teacher Christina made it comfortable for me to ask questions that increased my understanding, helping me to grasp the language faster and use it effectively. It gave me a lot of speaking opportunity, of which the importance can’t be overstated, especially since Chinese tones can be difficult to grasp.
