There is no shortcut or secret to learn Chinese. I think living in China and living together with Chinese people is the best way.
I suggest you find a professional and private mandarin teacher to help you to learn chinese. I think mandarin garden is quiet well school, practicing what you have learned, you will improve quickly.

Studying Chinese beside a busy working schedule is not easy! Convenient location , good facilities , professional teachers with a clear focus are necessary and important to keep the motivation for Chinese language learning in Shanghai. I found all these elements with Mandarin Garden and I am happy to study Mandarin in Shanghai with them.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
