A slower, separate character track. Begin with 我 你 人 有; later use 不 看 听 说 and 去 来 水 茶. Work at your own pace rather than treating all twelve as one day's quota.

1. List study Study a small set of characters

   Choose four characters. Compare their shapes, say the syllable with its tone, and find them in a useful word or phrase. Handwriting is optional here and is not assessed by these cards.

2. Flashcards Characters → pronunciation

   Say the pinyin and tone before flipping. Rate the pronunciation recall separately from meaning recall; this round contains just four characters.

3. Flashcards Characters → meaning

   Look at the character without pinyin and recall its meaning. A character can be easy in this direction and hard in pronunciation, or vice versa.

4. Quiz Try four character-only choices

   Use the explanations after answering. These choices check recognition, not handwriting or spontaneous speech.

An original short exchange about a bookshop. Combine supported meaning, a second character pass, four useful patterns, and a tiny spoken retelling.

1. Reading Read the bookshop exchange

   Start with pinyin if needed. Who wants to go, when, and how do they get there? Hide the English translation for a second pass.

2. Flashcards Find the meaning of the location words

   This is written character-to-meaning practice. Compare 这里, 那里, and 哪里 instead of assuming you have recognized a word because the pinyin feels familiar.

3. Grammar study Reuse four sentence patterns

   Change the drink, the place, and who is going. Read complete phrases; Chinese words often span more than one character.

4. Written task Make your own three-sentence plan

   Say or write where you want to go, when, and with whom. Pinyin is fine. Repeat a version using only words you can already recall. Ask your AI for specific feedback if connected; completion by itself records no mastery.

A proposed restart for someone who remembers some spoken Mandarin but few characters. Use pinyin as temporary support; do not treat character difficulty as proof that you cannot understand speech.

1. Reading Follow a short café exchange with pinyin

   Turn on pinyin and word meanings. Understand who wants what and the price. This first supported pass is not a listening test.

2. Flashcards Say the café words aloud

   See the English meaning and say the Mandarin before revealing the answer. Pinyin recall is acceptable at this stage. Your self-rating records recall, not verified tone accuracy.

3. List study Practice asking for repetition

   Reuse 请说慢一点儿 and 请再说一遍. Choose only unfamiliar items for a later practice list; no fixed repetition timetable is imposed.

4. Written task Hear and reuse four short phrases

   Optional audio pass: use a Mandarin-speaking partner, your connected AI, or an available device voice. Hear four café phrases without looking, state the meaning, then answer aloud. No recorded audio has been generated for these readings; device speech is a rough aid, not a pronunciation examiner. If no voice is available, leave this step unfinished.

5. Quiz Check everyday meaning

   This written quiz has pinyin support. Its results should not be used as listening or character-only evidence.
