So awesome! Pass on to us your study secrets! I can never remember new words. Once I finish studying one thing, I forget the other. I have already studied for three or four years and before I say something I still have to think for quite a while. I fear that if I make a mistake or if my tones are not correct, that others will laugh at me.

It seems like now I have reached a learning plateau. Lately I always feel that my Chinese level has been at a standstill and I don't know how to break through this bottleneck. It's so depressing!
我喜欢写汉字但是总记不住笔画顺序而且写得东倒西歪的愁死我了

I like to write Chinese characters, but I always forget the stroke order and write them askew. It really worries me!
