ChineseClass - Personal Chinese Learning System

My systematic approach to learning Chinese, with the goal of having natural conversations with my wife.

Target: Speak fluently with my wife in Chinese Timeline: 10-12 months Pace: ~9 new chapters per month Daily commitment: 1-2 hours, 6 days per week
