You can just focus on one at a time, even though it probably looks messy lol. I guess the best way to learn a lot of languages is to finish the trees one by one, while reviewing the previous one. For me though, I think 3 totally different languages is already hard enough to handle.
Man i generally keep making notes sideways. I have an Idea we make a group on social media, share our knowledge we can even practice chinese together, hows that?
Made a group on IG "mandarin.learners.group" we can discuss/video chat on this group. Consider a follow.
Literally the most useful phrase I've learned in my high school Mandarin class. It saved me from situations such as a pop quiz to a Mandarin speaker asking me something in Mandarin when all I know is Cantonese lol...
This is Nie Huaisang all the way. I knew this sentence before it showed up here just because of him. 我不知道！ 我不知道！

I don't think so. I think you only use it when you know "someone" - so "I know her - 我认识她“。 If I'm wrong, please correct me.
Savoir est un verbe qui est plus fort que connaître. Savoir est la possession d'une information avec tous ses details alors que connaître est un savoir superficiel. Ex: je connais les paroles d'une chanson( pas très bien) Et: je sais les paroles d'une chanson ( par cœur)
On dit je connais cette personne et pas je sais cette personne car on peut pas posséder tous les details, tous les informations, les pensées, les sentiments, ou le caractère d'une personne.
It's been a while since I did a lesson where 认识 was present, but I'm pretty sure it means "recognize".

知 (zhi1) on its own means knowledge, know that sort of stuff. 道 (dao4) has lots of meanings, but one of the most common ones you see in daily life is road, path, way this sort of meaning.
Why is there a number after the chinese character you write? What is that

The numbers refer to the tones for those characters To get more information key "Chinese tones" in the Search box at the top right of the Discuss page.

I do not know where to raise the following question. So far I still do not know how to write Chinese characters, will there be a special exercise about Chinese character writing here in Duolingo? Or what should we do to learn Chinese character learning.

I use the website instead of the app, and do it on my phone or tablet. Then, I use the "keyboard input" instead of the word bank to answer the problems. I installed a free Chinese handwriting input keyboard on my devices.
The other way to learn is to just copy it on paper over and over. That's how we did it when I was taking Chinese in school
Isn't it more common in China to just say 不知道? Like they do in Japan where the pronouns like you and I aren't used that often by native speakers?
不知道 cannot be used when speaking about your language skills.
Say 我不会(说)中文 instead.

"Dunno" may be acceptable when you're talking, or as conversation in a novel, but not in a language course.
- 3041
"Dunno, wanna, gonna, hafta" etc. are verbal contractions of "don't know, want to, going to, have to" - i.e. casual/slang words familiar to English speaking people only. Would you use them when writing a business letter, or completing a job application? Would they be taught to English learners under a category other than "slang"?

知道 - zhi(1)dao = to have knowledge of - e.g. I know that; 认识 - ren(4)shi = to be acquainted with - e.g. I know her
Can i ask something. Why is it that some word are silent or i just cant hear it. I repeat this phrase and i cant hear the o in 道. It says wo bu zhi da ? Is that on purpose?
bu refers to no, then why again judou, its more like i do not not know.......
- 3041
I think you're confusing "bu" and "zhidou". "Bu" means "no", and "zhidao'" means "know". So "I know" = 我知道, and "I don't know" = 我不知道, or am I misunderstanding something?
知道 is the only two diffent characters that repeat that make since... lol "know know.... no, no no, as in i dont know" lol
