Thanks. Um, I've been studying since 2006, so at the time of this video, about a year. As for how, Princeton University's Chinese program in particular is extremely good. The basic ideas (especially in the beginning) are the following:
1) tones are as much a part of a word as anything else.
2) focus on sentence structures/patterns rather than learning all the words for, say, sports or types of fruits.
讲得很好 从来没意识到汉字可以起到统一方言的作用
well done! i have never thought that Chinese Character can join different dialect together
Gut gemacht,ich habe nie gedacht,dass Chinesische Charakter verschiedenen Dialekt zusammen verbinden kann.

Hey man, love the speech. I really think you should spend some time in the Chinese-speaking world... you would tear it up.

3) speak a lot, using structures until they're internalized
4) learn to write 5 characters a day until we can write everything we can say.
