I am native Spanish speaking, but since my early 20s, I have been living, working (and now retired) in English speaking country. English is my second language, but also, my primary one at home. For the last few years I have been looking at ways to keep myself mentally busy, exercising the grey matter to stay alert well into my sunset years 
. Language learning seem to be the obvious choice: I already had spanish and English and even French from 4 years compulsory studying at school back then. Portuguese and Italian were also thrown into the mix. But none of these languages were challenging enough or fit for purpose to me, so after much researching, I settled for Turkish (with lots of good media immersion oportunities).
I then found myself an app that would allow me to learn many languages at the same time for a reasonable price, and that it also had a good entertaining appeal (I get bored very easily otherwise). Today I have a basic conversational level in turkish, with about 80% comprehension media immersion. I’ve since added japanese and korean, still early stages, but totally loving media immersion availability for them, (having a weary look at kanji though🤔). Lately, chinese caught my attention!!! I have been researching how to learn Chinese, since my app does not seem adequate to help me retain the diversity of pictures, sounds and tones for this language. They are all like a 3D puzzle game, where in order to be successful at solving it, you have to not only move the right pictorial pieces to the right places, but also the right accompanying sounds, each in their right setting. …
… And then I was lucky enough to discover Hhero !!
HHero has that never ending 3D entertaining feeling to it that is so luring to me. I hold a 700+ day streak with the other app because, although in a different way, it also has a high degree of variety and animation to it, (but it lacks the right approach for pictorial languages IMHO). On the other hand, HHero is perfect! It has the never ending diversity of entertaining within their innovative approach to learning Chinese. From the process of being co-director in the movie production for each character, word or phrase, to achieving the desired transformation of assimilating them in such a way that you know what they are, how they sound and what they mean without even thinking about it, you feel totally involved and in control. it’s mindblowing!!
. In 3 weeks I can easily recall over 300 items including 80characters and 90 words!!
PS: ahhh, I forgot to mention that there is indeed something missing in this HHanzi method: the lack of frustration and time wasting. At least for me, so far. Each study session is measurable and productive in a very enjoyable way. …

It was enjoyable reading through your progress with other languages, and am surprised to hear there’s a lot of immersion content for Turkish
