I want to speak with my SO in her native language.

Should you be including some work on hearing and speaking Mandarin as well as reading and writing?

I'm heavily constrained by what I can test/grade. Writing code to grade the correctness of my Mandarin pronunciation is hard.

Listening exercises are easier to grade and they are definitely on my TODO list.

Can't you ask her to tutor you?
