   Once upon a time, I took a HSK1 class thinking I could improve my Mandarin that way. It wasn't. After spending half of 2023 researching strategies to improve my Mandarin fluency, I now have a plan in place, detailed in this post below:

     @liztai Which level should I reach if I don't want to read iQIYI subtitle?

     @clacke No, I don't. Still it depends. Do you count "ni gui xing" with poor pronunciation?

     @liztai did a search for "HSK1" and this post popped up - I signed up for Mandarin classes about a month ago and I love your perspective. I guess it's time for me to start watching cdramas for immersion haha

     @evaack you totally should! Congrats on starting the journey.

     I actually have a semi regular Substack where I will share what I learn as a Mandarin learner and hopefully cultivate a community of learners. Learning languages needs a bit of finesse to be effective!
