[quote=JABAROOTOO,361214]你好 Ben,
你还在中国吗.  Don't worry too much about learning sentences, especially long ones.  That will come to together later.  Learning always has plateaus where you feel like you are not getting anywhere ten all of a sudden you begin to move on again.

Focus on short phrases.  Remember Chinese is like learning three new languages all at once.  Two written forms and an oral language and then most everyone speaks it poorly.   Dui le  对了and then there is the hand gesturing as well.  Mustn't forget that as these clarify a lot of misspoken words as well.

Buses are a great places to listen if not speak and if you can strike up a conversation and practice some basic stuff all the better.   The hairdresser if you are game and shops are all good too for a little conversation.

Are you supplementing with website learning material as well.

Baffled about the laundromat idea in China?????  laundries yes but no-one hangs around in these waiting for the wash to get done.
