I wrote about one of the longest standing debates in the lang learning community: when should you start speaking? Some argue you should speak from day 1 while others encourage learners to wait months before output. I outline my take on this divisive issue imlearningmandarin.com/2024/01/11/theโ€ฆ

If you like music, try making up simple songs in Chinese where the notes follow the tones. Listen to songs in Chinese and pay attention to how the native singers do the same in order to make the songs intelligible. Learn and memorize songs; the tones are pre-embedded. #langtwt
