Good to see you've made the jump in making a character wiki!
Mind if I ask if you're studying any particular dialect of Mandarin?
I am studying 普通è¯, or the standardized dialect used in the PRC, though I'm learning both character sets.
Mind if I ask if you favor the written language over the spoken?
For my own Tertiary and beyond i've always favored written, though thats mostly because I enjoy reading texts or works in their original language. Picking up the spoken elements has always been secondary. Though in some cases the overlap has made it easy with western languages...
I much prefer the written form of the language, mainly because I too, like reading texts in the original language, and second reason being I really like the writing system; particularly the traditional set. We seem to be similar in this way.
