If you are in a non-Chinese environment, it is very difficult for you to study Chinese systematically. As far as I know, English is the sole language as a second language taught in class systematically in the whole world. Even for those Chinese in a country like US and Canada where most of people speak non-Chinese, their children study Chinese in class for at most half a day in the weekend. For people whose mother language is not Chinese, it is very expensive to study in China or other countries and areas where Chinese is a major language. However, if you can get the help from a professional Chinese teachers or tutors, you can improve your Chinese much more quickly than teaching by yourself.
