i'm not really fluent so i just lurk and translate anything i don't know. most of the time i'll just browse zhihu or baidu and find new terms. sometimes i'll find stuff that i wouldn't on english sites. it's also become my go to "immersion" study method.

i actually set up a goal for myself yesterday, to start learning chinese characters by browsing bilibili (now that youtube is not allowing adblock). I am planning to learn 2-3 characters a day and browse through bilibili trying to identify the characters and with time i may be able to translate video titles and comments.

This sounds like a rather inefficient way of learning the language.

To each their own, but for me taking small daily steps works.

Small daily steps is a good idea but I don't think learning character by character is a good way to go about it. If it's fun for you then that's fine but just know you won't make much progress understanding the meaning.
