Chinese Practice will not teach you Chinese, it's a program meant to accompany your study at a school. When you come home from class, create new lesson and write down new words and phrases. First practise the last lesson, then open couple of most recent lessons, from time to time open and practise all lessons. Use different modes � let the program display only chinese terms while you translate into your language or vice versa, or just hear the computer read the terms and repeat it.
