Sinosplice is a blog about learning Chinese and living in China, maintained by John Pasden.
Writing on Mandarin study and life in China for learners of Chinese.
The learning section gathers the resources John Pasden built over the years, starting with a beginner's guide to pronunciation, then pieces on the stages of learning Chinese and on tones.

Visit linkSinosplice pairs a study guide for Mandarin with a record of living in China, written by a Shanghai-based linguist. The learning section is set up as a sequence of core resources, so a learner starts with pronunciation and then moves to the stages of learning and tones. The AllSet Learning company and the Mandarin Companion graded readers stand behind the study advice. The blog's composite-character post, which asks readers to guess, shows a habit of testing questions about Chinese writing directly.
