I am actually chinese, but I remember very little of the language. However, I am cantonese so I can read quite a few characters (for instance, when I am at Cabramatta and Chinatown, I can read more than half of the characters). However, I don't remember how to construct sentences, I can barely speak. I can listen more than I can speak. My mando is very patchy since I haven't done it in a while. I noticed that you chose Intermediate - I don't know whether Intermediate may be too hard and I'm afraid, Beginners is too easy. What are your thoughts?
