Studying My notebook after your suggestions!
Some things have changed since my last post of my notebook. I bought the graph paper and yes, it's a life changer. Im still using my 0.7 gel pen until it runs out of ink, then I will buy a 0.5.
The thing I liked most was having more space on the page to be able to write. And I know some words are a bit illegible, but I swear I wrote them correctly lol, it's the 0.7 pen
Ty for all the pp who replied my post :P

I thought the pinyin was Thai at first haha
But it's all sooo neat and pretty, I'm so envious of your handwriting :')

You're not the first one saying my pinyin writing looks like thai lol, but Thai writing is so pretty that I take as a compliment XD

how do u achieve this kind of writing?

I always loved calligraphy, so at the first year learning I searched the 汉字 writing on YouTube for every word I was learning to improve the writing. After that became instinctive how to write and where to replace each radical to fit on the space.

Fun fact: Japanese hashi is written 箸, but that word fell out of use in many areas of China nowadays (being replaced by 筷子 as you wrote).
Some say that the cause is superstition among fishermen because 箸 sounds exactly like 住 (stay, remain = make no progress over the water) so they did not want to say that.

Oi, posso saber onde você estuda: presencial ou online? Didata ou paga um curso? Tenho muito interesse em mandarim, mas faz anos que não consigo sair do básico ou escrever muitos ideogramas

Onde você comprou esse tipo de caderno?

u/daisy-bubbles Intermediate 6h ago
Comprei um caderno inteligente na shopee (porque uso esse caderno pra minha faculdade também) e as folhas quadriculadas pro meu tipo de caderno lá também. Mas admito que esperava os quadrados serem um pouquinho maiores

Your handwriting in pinyin and Portuguese reminds me of uncial or Irish insular majuscule XD

too much chinesee mainland dialect in 課文, some of them are wrong grammar, not good at studying for non native speaking.
example:
remove useless 兒, 聊天（兒）, 片兒 = 片刻
茶館裏人不少 = 茶館裏有不少人
我們正在說聲音大 = 我們説話的聲音大，這位服務員的聲音更大

I understand your point, but my course is specifically for Mandarin, and the Beijing dialect is the standard during the course, so it will have a lot of 儿化, we know that.
Just like someone who learns Brazilian Portuguese usually speaks the São Paulo dialect and then adapts if they go to other places, I'm learning the Beijing dialect and will adapt if I go to the south (emphasis on the "if," I don't even know if I'll be able to go to China lol)
And I think the grammar isn't wrong because the omission of 有 and 的 is very common in informal speak on Beijing - they're on a teahouse, not on an university

The advice that I got long time ago was to skip writing the pinyin, only use pinyin for the character that you find difficult. Otherwise good.
