Hi there, everyone!
I took one year of Chinese last year at my university and have continued on my own using the same textbook series (NPCR). And, of course, I'm using Skritter as a tool to learn how to write and read characters.
My issue: Skritter covers characters at a somewhat faster pace than the pace that I have with my textbook reading. What have other students done to deal with this issue? Have you just continued on with Skritter and kept learning vocabulary while having a different pace for textbook reading? What about those who are confined within a class, with a pace already set for going through lessons?
