• Just for curiosity, how do you pick the articles for Slow Chinese?

• Any advice on finding opportunities to communicate in Chinese?

• What are your tips to improve comprehension?  I feel like I’m working on reading, listening, and speaking all at once, sometimes I feel like I’m just getting surface understanding.

• I often feel I use the same words/phrases over and over and my short-term memory is weak, I live in a non-Chinese environment although I have many opportunities to practice Chinese and have no plans to travel to China.

• I'm American-born Chinese, so I grew up with Chinese speaking parents, but I used English and home and in daily life. My listening is strong, everything else is weak. I'm in China currently studying in a Master's program. I'm probably about HSK5-6 in my vocabulary and reading comprehension. If you have any tips for picking up reading/speaking, I'd love to know.
