I’m an experienced Mandarin learner (TOCFL Level 4 Reading and Listening) living in Taiwan. It’s been many years since I’ve been in a formal Mandarin learning environment, so I’m trying hanzihero to solidify my memory of characters and pronunciations, and to learn new words. Independent study with other resources, like books, has been really hard to structure. Because I’m reviewing, I intentionally set the level low, to HSK 2.
I just started today, and the pinyin/pronunciation lessons are really annoying me. I set to skip HSK 1, so I don’t understand why I’m still getting pronunciation lessons. Any tricks to get past this?
Edit: After starting a few new lessons, it looks like the testing set eventually corrected to not teaching pinyin, so maybe skipping HSK 1 was the key. Leaving this post up in case someone else has the same experience (or if anyone has another explanation/suggestion).
