Language is beautiful

For years I have wanted to learn Chinese. My best friend is Taiwanese. We met at university. Her parents came to visit and my friend had to translate everything for me. I just wanted to be able to understand them and for them to understand me. I felt ashamed that I could not understand them. That is when my chinese journey began. I tried many chinese apps and had a few lessons whilst studying at uni. None of it had a routine so I didnt stick to it. There was no personal connection and I couldnt really see any growth.

I joined amazing talker and I can see my growth each week. I have an amazing teacher Jason ;) pardon the pun. I can now not only hold a conversation in chinese but also sing in chinese. I am having so much fun learning and can now fulfill my dream of speaking chinese. Jason has even given me a chinese name!

My friend from Taiwan has not heard my Chinese yet so I will surprise her when eveything is back to normal and I get to see her again. I am also going to sing to her, not sure if she will enjoy that (I dont have the greatest voice) but I sure will give it a good go!

We can all achieve our goals and dreams, amazing talker gave me the routine I needed. Having weekly lessons with an actual person really helps me to keep on track.

Yours 絜玉
