There's a lot more to Pigntype than just the front page - check out the links along the top. Particularly the blog, with the link to ways I've tried and failed to learn. [0] Speaking, listening, reading, writing, and typing are all different parts of "learning Mandarin". All of them are hard. Pingtype (translator) can help with reading. Pingtype (keyboard, at the bottom of the page) can help with typing traditional characters. Listening can be done with music, check out the Lyrics for some bilingual Christian songs (audio is on YouTube). Singing is kind of like speaking, and can be done in church without other people looking at you weirdly when you pronounce tones wrong. Writing will make your hand hurt, and many native speakers don't know how to write their own language [1]. Speaking is pretty much impossible without a tutor, and I'm still not conversational after ~4 years. I can understand some of what other people say, but talking is hard.
