I am a junior in college and English is my first language. I am now taking Mandarin Chinese 101. I know its a little late to be learning such a complicated new language but I have a strong interest in the Chinese culture and I think learning Mandarin will be useful for me in the future. Are there any tricks or tips to learning the tones or any other facet of the language out there that have been useful to other Americans learning Mandarin? After a few classes, I'm a little overwhelmed with the complexity of the language, the characters and seeing just how different it is from English.
