Hey there everybody!
Decided to start a study log to keep myself accountable in some way. Would also be good to see my progress tracked in a forum-style format and to help this community move forward.
I made a recap of my first 31 days of Chinese on my blog right over here.
加油！
Nice! I also used what was formerly called ChineseLearnOnline back in the day. Assuming the rebrand didn’t touch the old content, I still recommend it 
. Though I skipped over levels 1-3 and just did I think level 4 and 5.
Wow, thanks for sharing all that info and I hope that by this time you have managed to improve your tone awareness issues. As a total newie in this Chinese journey I will be using some of those resources, particularle the slow series videos. I just had a peek at the first one and I will include them on my reading, listening arsenal. Thanks!
