    As a native Chinese speaker, I think your Chinese is pretty good! The pronunciation and fluency is better than most people (I’ve watched) who did the same theme.

      it really is! you can start by trying to learn the basics first and in order to get the correct pronunciation try to see how native speakers speak and repeatedly listen to it. afterwards you can delve deeper into learning it. (i'm chinese so i learnt it since i was young but that's what i was told to people who are interested in learning it ^^)

    It's still amazing you are able to speak Mandarin due to the environment, for my case, most Chinese in Malaysia are kinda still able to speak dialect as well. My parents send me to chinese primary school for education and they speak mandarin with me, I only understand Cantonese beside Mandarin. AT least you can speak better than some Chinese in Malaysia or Singapore lol
