<content:encoded><![CDATA[Nihao! I'm already in Guandu teaching English but I'm finding it very hard to get along with the amount of Chinese I came here knowing. I'm wondering what the best way for me to pick up Chinese would be. Whether it be interacting with more people, studying by myself or taking formal classes. I already have a basic understanding of Mandarin but I don't know enough to be conversational. 

If you have any tips for learning in Kunming I would appreciate it!]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[All three are good paths and doing some of all three is probably the best way. However, taking part time classes at keats or some other private school is definitely a good way to go if your schedule and budget allows. Time alone is hard, because locals all speak kunminghua, so you wont pick it up through your daily life.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Chinesepod my friend. Either pay for it or download free on torrents. The content is geared towards daily spoken Chinese which is what you need. Goes from complete beginner to very advanced. Worked for me.

Also I discovered a cool app called Memrise which is useful for vocabulary. Pleco is good for flashcards.

All good shit but of course completely useless without a strong effort on your part.]]></content:encoded>
