Shoulda taken Mandarin in school…
A Statesian Marxists' Guide to Learning Mandarin - ProleWiki

To get the most out of this guide, practice Mandarin everyday. Even if you only have 15 minutes of spare time. Doing 15 minutes of practice everyday will give better results than a half-hour every other day.

My grandparents grocery store has a cashier, that studied Chinese, intending to become a translator.
