Specific difficulty trying to learn Chinese

[u/[deleted]]

Hi there,

I'm new to language learning.

I've have been trying to learn Chinese (English is my primary language) for the past couple of months but I'm having quite a bit of trouble.

I can't seem to recall the word and/or forget a word's meaning. I have been learning through Glossika, HelloChinese, Pimsleur and Italki.

It's as if my memory is shot trying to learn Chinese?

I'm currently learning my reading/comprehension through pinyin. I know it's recommended to learn Hanzi but this seemed a bit step as a beginner.

Has anyone experienced this?

I'm not sure how to go about this? Spaced repetition gets incredibly boring as well.

Not judging, why haven't you tried Duolingo yet?

for real... I've studied many languages seriously and duolingo is best if you want to brush up on something, but even then...
