By basic foundation I meant the grammar, pronunciation, ping yin, etc. (OP said his mandarin is broken). I suggested this because, like I said, I personally don't really know of any traditional Chinese classes for adults (the ones that I do know of are not only for kids, they're also taught in Cantonese). I suggested this because this is how I learned and it worked for me. I'm Canadian. I was born, raised, and lived here all my life and I haven't visited Asia in almost 10 years. I'm currently at the point where I can read menus, signs, and most subs when I'm watching a TV show or a movie. The reason why I haven't gone any further is because I lack the motivation to learn more.
Take from it what you will.
Anyway, good luck, OP.
