How if all self-teaching attempts fail?

1. Try taking a class in Chinese. 
2. Since UKM itself offer a lot of mandarin class, no matter is pusat or college itself. Take the opportunity to learn Mandarin since it is free while you still studying in University. I'm sure you will learn a lot once you attend the class.
3. 
   
   
   
4. 
   Know your best way to learn. 
5. Do you learn best by rewriting phrases? Rereading? Saying them out aloud? Hearing them said aloud? If you are not sure, practice differently with new unique ways to help you remember.
   
   
   
   
6. 
   Rewrite every phase or word on the page.
7.  This will help - as you can always refer to it if you have trouble.

   Learn the tones.
9.  There are four tones. One type of tone is usually over each Chinese word. Each tone type is drawn over the word 'ma' to show the different ways of pronouncing it.

    • The first tone is a high, flat tone. Your voice stays flat, with no rise or dip in the way it sounds. e.g.
    • The second tone is a rising tone. Your voice rises when you say this, sort of as if you were asking someone to repeat something by saying "huh?" or "what?"
    • The third tone is a dipping tone. The way you say the word goes down then up. Such as when you say the letter "B". When two third tone syllables are near each other, the first one retains its third tone sound while the next takes the sound of the fourth tone. Also, unless at the end of a sentence or in the case aforementioned, the third tone just sounds like a second tone starting slightly lower.
    • The fourth tone is a lowering tone. Just say the whole word as if your voice is becoming more manly, or as if you're reading a book and have come across something new and interesting and are saying "huh". Easy enough? If not, don't fret. It's definitely recommended to hear the tones demonstrated from a native speaker, since it's hard to get an idea of what they sound like purely through text.
