I agree with Benny. Ali you are very lucky to be learning Chinese where you have a Chinese language environment (语言环境). Because as far as I know, people who go to China to learn Chinese, pick up things very fast. Unlike me, who’s learning Chinese outside China or outside any other Chinese speaking country, where there’s no 语言环境, it gets really really tough.

Diligency and consistency is required for one to learn Chinese. It is also hard for me to memorize Hanzi, so what do I do? I keep on reading Chinese stories and articles to improve my Chinese. If there are some words that you don’t understand, go through the dictionary. If, later, you forget the words you learned, it’s ok. Just keep on reading and the words you learned before may appear again and again. This way, the words will finally stick into your mind and there will come a time when you’ll be able to recognize many Hanzi.

Just read a lot and read consistently!
