I am using my 10-year-old daughter's Chinese tutor (from past postings some of you know she speaks perfect Chinese but doesn't want to) to learn Mandarin Chinese and will see the tutor 2 or 3 times a weeks for at least an hour each time. Don't have much of an opportunity to speak Chinese at home because of my daughter's attitude. Does anyone have any suggestions for the most effective way to learn Chinese. By far my biggest interest is speaking Chinese as opposed to also learning how to write it. (There is only so much time in a day) Any suggestions would be appreciated.
