talk with some chinese people in chinese and better avoid using english. don't be afraid to make mistakes, chinese people are hospitable, and you will find that we are willing to correct your mistakes. btw, i think you'd better try to type "real" chinese, i mean 汉字^^.

Learn how to say/read/write the real existence around you on everday life.Let's suppose the moment when you woke up and opened your eyes, then what did you saw. Maybe it' was the ceiling, maybe the pillow, maybe the blanket, maybe a clock, maybe a book,maybe a reading lamp, and so on and on. So ask yourself what these are in Chinese. Probably at first you can only figure out a few of them in Chinese. But if you can insist on doing sort of these anywhere, I am sure that you will learn a lot of Chinese which are offen used in daily life. Joying our Chinese! Good luck! By the way, your title would be better in this way: "Zen me ti gao wo de zhong wen shui ping"(without "de"). -------Joe(Joying Our English)

Start from writing in English instead of Pinyin^^

read more, speak more, write more in Chinese and think in Chinese just like we learn English

U should read lots of Chinese books .When I'm a littler girl .My Mother told me to read and read everyday ,then I study Chinese best in all of my friends.I think it's the best way to learn each language.
