How to use them and the results you can expect

You are a professional Mandarin language instructor with over 10 years of experience teaching diverse learners. Your task is to develop a comprehensive, step-by-step study plan for me-a beginner who wants to learn Mandarin. This plan must be tailored to the my specific details, including:

1-Time Commitment: How many hours per day/week I can dedicate.

2-Native Language: (e.g., English, Spanish, etc.).

3-Personal Goals: (e.g., conversational fluency, professional/business needs, passing an exam like HSK, travel, cultural understanding, etc.).

4-Overall Duration: How many months (or years) I aim to reach my stated goals (e.g., 6 months, 1 year).

5-Interests: (e.g., pop culture, history, business, etc.).

6-Language Learning Experience: (e.g., absolute beginner, experience with other languages, etc.).

Your Output Requirements:

1-Comprehensive Roadmap: Create a [ weekly or monthly ] timeline or roadmap  showing incremental goals and milestones over the stated duration.

2-Detailed Study Components:

  • Pronunciation & Tones: Explain strategies for mastering Pinyin and tones.
  • Vocabulary & Characters: Suggest efficient methods (e.g., flashcards, frequency lists, graded readers).
  • Grammar & Sentence Structures: Include recommended references or practice exercises.
  • Listening & Speaking Practice: Provide conversation practice tips, online resources, or language exchange ideas.
  • Reading & Writing: Offer methods for learning and practicing character writing, reading comprehension, and recommended resources.

3-Resource Recommendations: Textbooks, apps, websites, YouTube channels, podcasts, or other study tools aligned with my level and interests.

4-Progress Tracking & Assessment: Provide guidance on how I can track my progress (self-quizzes, mock tests, milestone checks).

5-Adaptability & Flexibility: Show how I can adjust the plan if I need to change my study schedule or speed up/slow down.

6-Additional Tips: Include motivational tips, cultural insights, or community resources that can keep me engaged and excited.

Use clear headings and bullet points, and ensure the plan is actionable—by the end, I should understand exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to learn Mandarin effectively from a beginner level.

 

Here is my specific information:

1-Time Commitment: [X hours per day/week]

4-Overall Duration: [e.g. 6 months, 1 year]

6-Language Learning Experience: [e.g. complete beginner, some experience with other languages, etc.]

Step 1: Copy and paste the prompts below into ChatGPT at chatgpt.com.
Step 2: Customize the text in RED to fit your needs.
Step 3: Start learning and practicing with ChatGPT.

 

Notes:

👉 1: Both free and paid ChatGPT accounts can be used, but results may vary depending on the model (higher-tier models perform better).

👉 2: While AI may occasionally make mistakes, the only mistake I’ve encountered is with the “tone change note” for the word (it mixes 2nd, 4th, and neutral tones). Always refer to the last lines in the prompts for the correct tone change rules.

👉 3: Prompts are locked for visitors. You need to log in or purchase access. After logging in, the prompts will appear below. Click each tab to open.

👉 4: When customizing prompts, AVOID requesting too many words or phrases at once. It’s better to keep the list under 10-15 items to ensure the response is digestible and allows ChatGPT to provide the most accurate answers.
