Tutors

I'm up to 3 tutors now. They take turns teaching me for 2 hours Monday through Friday. They are all teaching me the same material and coordinate their lessons so it's pretty nice. Everything I learn I put into Mnemosyne to help me remember. I am learning so much that without it, I would only remember about 10% of what they were teaching me.

The other thing I'm doing is listening to as much talk radio as I can. I can't understand it right now, but my ear is starting to pickup individual words, sounds, and tones.

A tool I find useful for memorizing Chinese characters is ZDT (GPL free software: http://zdt.sourceforge.net)

Its great for hammering home the message that I still haven't got complete recall.
