I want to learn Mandarin, but I don't have a Mandarin-speaking friend to practice with. I'm also not confident enough with my foreign language skills to speak with a Mandarin-speaking person online.

Duolingo doesn't teach me how to write or speak the things I want to express. For example, I want to say This is my favorite coffee shop. I know how to construct the sentence, but I don't know the Mandarin word for favorite. So, I end up saying - Zhe tiao wo de favorite kafei guan.

Google Translate lacks certain language nuances. It also doesn't keep track of the things I looked up.

Keeping notes of the words I learn takes effort - I have to write down the English word, hanzi, pinyin, and how it is used in a sentence.
