@liztai it's always interesting to hear what your experience learning Mandarin is like, because mine is so similar and yet so different. We're both heritage learners in Southeast Asia, and we're both trying to level up to HSK4.
But you have a great foundation in speaking Mandarin. I sound like a 3-year-old! I did calligraphy and Mandarin in school, so I can copy beautifully. But I did the bare minimum for school, so I can't read the newspaper even at my snail's speed.
@liztai currently I guess my routine is Anki first thing in the day, then children's books after that. Ebooks from Pleco and JoyReader have been great. Writing this down makes me realise I have no routine for textbooks and podcasts, but well, health. :)
I'm also neglecting speaking and writing, but I've had such bad experiences with Chinese teachers that I don't feel like trying to explain my long covid limitations to one of them right now. I think my priority is learning to enjoy the language!
