Chad Ressler
According to the progress bar I am at lesson 1007 of 1999, so a little over halfway finished with the foundation course. I want to encourage anyone who has reached this point to KEEP GOING. There are some who fly through the course and there are some, like me, who desire to take it slow and enjoy the journey. As the slower type, do not feel the need to rush because others are going faster than you. Take this course at a pace you want and a pace you are comfortable with. If you haven't done so already, create your own Chinese learning environment at home. Add Chinese movies and TV to your Netflix list, Chinese songs to your Spotify list, subscribe to Chinese learning channels on YouTube, and join Chinese groups and pages on Facebook. You will hear, see, and interact with many of our vocabulary words on a daily basis in contexts other than your Anki flashcards. Let people you are comfortable with hear you read out loud, and practice out loud as much as possible. Keep on your flashcards every day, and if you need to, go back and add more sentences to your daily routine.

Thanks Chad for the halfway-point pep talk!
Ann Bihari
Yes! Thank you Chad for the encouragement! I was flying through earlier, but work got really hectic and I've had to slow down a bit. This was exactly what I needed to hear today as I was feeling like some momentum had been lost.

Thanks Chad! I am moving more slowly through the course because of a heap of external stuff. But I do Anki every day, listen to cheesy C-Pop, watch even cheesier C drama and try to add a couple of characters a week. It gives me a fantastic sense of achievement amid all the other (largely really not-fun) stuff I have to deal with. The bite-size approach is perfect for me and squeezing in Chinese new learning and consolidation has just become second nature to me now.

Firstly, thanks Chad for that comment. I had really slowed down in Level 22 and was finding it a bit of a slog. Now tackling Level 23 with renewed energy and your comment served as an extra motivation boost.
Secondly, for Phil or Luke, is there any difference between 别的 and 其他?
Mandarin Blueprint
Only in usage. Check Pleco for some example sentences and you'll get the hang of it!
Chris Lewis
食物 sounds like 'Sure Woo' (me) and what better way to my heart than with a massive plate of chocolate (FOOD)!
口味 sounds like GO AWAY, I'm not interested in your disgustingly-TASTING food!
I also resonate with what Chad says. A part of me wants to complete the course too, however, I love getting distracted with learning new words (like above)that we haven't learned yet. I'll deconstruct new characters, create objects and then add them to my Anki deck in a new category. When I first started learning Chinese, I thought I could be conversationally fluent in two years. I reassessed that goal and made it 3-5 years, then came across MB and the rest is history. I have my whole life to learn this language. I've developed patience and now with school finished (I'm a teacher) and lockdown in Malaysia and nowhere to go, I'm going to play a bit of catch up, while also being kind to myself.

Wow, the comments are spot on here! I've slowed down a lot (though I'm religious about Anki) and that was exactly what needed to hear. Keep going everyone!
Jonathan Glazier
Who was it said, "slow and steady wins the race?" well, this shouldn't even be a race, unless you have a moving date lol. Couldn't agree more with Chad.
