Business Mandarin IV

It takes 10,000 hours to master a certain skillset. So if you take tuition / lesson from a teacher say, 4 hours weekly you will clock in about 200 hours a year. And if you put in 4 hours daily you will clock in another 1,500 hours perhaps. It will take you al least six years to master the language. What is the takeaway? At least you should be able to accumulate 8,000 words in your vocabulary within the first 1 to 2 years and this will let you read Chinese articles off the internet with some degree of proficiency. Below are some of the words so accumulated.
