普通话

I started taking Mandarin classes about a month ago. We do like 4-5 hours every week, plus the time each person spends studying at home, which, in my case, isn't a lot (Law books are time suckers).

However, my classmates seem to be very obtuse, and our teacher has decided to adapt to their dumbness and slow down her rhythm until a point I feel like I'm wasting my time.

I'd like to make some progress by myself, but I'm really lost as to what should I do from now. Yes, I could study hanzi like a madman, but I don't think learning random words would be useful at all. What about grammar, for example? Common phrases? Well, hopefully you'll be able to give me a hand.

Also, if, by coincidence, any Chinese student is learning Spanish as well and needs some help with the language of Cervantes, this native speaker will be more than glad to help him/her (wait... no girls, internet, etc) out.

Cheers.

(If you don't have it already  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3349   is a very useful extension for those who study chinese, you can add a button to your toolbar that, upon clicking, will give you the chinese definition of a character/phrase of multiple characters. very useful when there is one or two characters you just can't remember!)
