I've just finished "Survival Mandarin", what next?

Hey,

I have just finished the "Survival Mandarin" course and fully understand all of the characters involved. Can anyone suggest which course I should now progress to?

Simon

P.S

To editors/creators, it would be wonderful if you could mark out a suggested order for the courses to be learnt in.

I suggest Restaurant Survival. Mostly because it feels good to finish a deck and it is not too large like mandarin comprehensive. I also choose it because it seemed like I would have more chances to use it in my live.

I'm in a similar situation to you, and have decided to go through the HSK courses. HSK is the Chinese standard tests for mandarin proficiency, so I figure it'll be a good route to take.

I started on comprehensive, and experimented with my own word lists, but just recently started the HSK 1 and am finding that more rewarding than just doing comprehensive as it gets to the more useful words quicker, particularly learning more characters for words I already know the meaning of. If you go to the mandarin course choice page it does have featured courses at the top, which is how I chose HSK.

Just go with "Introductory Mandarin (HSK level 1)" and afterwards go with HSK2.

What does the OP hope to do with their language skill set as it evolves? Knocking down one or more of the HSK certifications could prove beneficial in the job market.
