As I have been putting together my lists for 100 Verbs, 100 Nouns and 100 Adjectives I came to the total of 69 words so far. This is not including the Pronouns or Articles. This is about 9.8 words a day. I still don't know all of them perfectly. I'd say I know about 50-75% of them. My goal is 3.4 words a day. I am almost going 3x faster than needed. This is certain to stop within the next week as you learn the most when you first start. I don't believe I would be able to keep learning 10 words a day anyway.
Actually, I am sure I would be able to learn 10 words a day of another language, but with Chinese I need to constantly go back and make sure I am pronouncing with the correct tone. Otherwise I am just wasting my time. Once I gather my lists, I will learn those until 100% perfect as I slowly learn the Traditional Characters.
My main goal is to be able to have basic working knowledge of the language to the point that I can leave the house on a daily basis without speaking English. I want to obtain this within 1 year. I am on week 1.
This blog is about me attempting to obtain working knowledge of Chinese within a one year time frame. I wish to be able to leave the house on a daily basis without speaking English.
