all the ✨beginner resources✨ you need to start learning Mandarin 🇨🇳

It wasn't my plan to learn Mandarin this year, but an opportunity came along that I couldn't turn down and 5 months later, here we are at the end of HSK 2. Thanks to everything I've learnt from self-studying Korean, my Mandarin learning has become much more efficient. You really don't need that many resources to make progress, just a couple that fits your studying style and that you can use effectively.
