chinese is way harder. i’m chinese myself and everything is about tone, but don’t be discouraged!! for pronunciation i’d recommend searching for videos and practicing the tone marks. you should also learn proper stroke order. i don’t really have a youtube channel i’d recommend but it’s just repetitive practice. i’m moving onto only HS...... 2 reply
