Learning Chinese
Ella
I'm Ella, and I've started teaching myself Chinese. It's challenging, but I enjoy it. I use apps and watch videos online. My goal is to speak fluently. My friends are impressed with my dedication. Sometimes, I practise with a friend who learned Chinese at university. Last weekend, I ordered food in Chinese at a local restaurant. It wasn't perfect, but the waiter understood me and was happy that I was trying. That felt like a big achievement!
James
Hello, I'm James. Learning Chinese has been a goal of mine for a while. I started a few months ago, using books and online resources. I'm fascinated by the culture and history behind the language. My brother thinks it's too hard, but I find it rewarding. I've made flashcards to learn new words. Just yesterday, I managed to read a short story in Chinese about a man and his dog. It was difficult, but I was proud of myself.
Lily
My name is Lily, and I'm learning Chinese on my own. I love the challenge it brings. I often listen to Chinese music and try to understand the lyrics. My parents support my interest. They bought me a Chinese-English dictionary. I also join online language exchange groups where I chat with native speakers. Last month, I wrote a letter in Chinese to a pen pal in Beijing. It's exciting to use the language in real life.
