How on earth are you expected to be "reasonably conversational" after 10 classes (20h) worth of Mandarin?
It's just impossible.
- kenneth 7y agoYou misread. A course is 40h (20 classes), and it takes 10 courses to get reasonably conversational. i.e. 400h of class-time (not counting homework, study, and practice in the wild time)
- halfdan 7y agoI read the after 10 as referring to the number of classes. 400h seems a little more reasonable, albeit a lot lower than the usual estimate which has it over 1000h
