Reflecting on this semester's journey of learning Chinese, I enjoyed what I have achieved within 15 weeks and it is one of my favorite classes I have taken so far. Not only have I improved my Chinese language skills, but I have also learned to approach language learning in a more structured and disciplined way. Moreover, I have learned about Chinese culture and gained an appreciation for its richness and diversity. Learning Chinese has opened up new opportunities and experiences for me, and I look forward to exploring them in the future.

I would like to express my gratitude to my teacher and classmates for their support and encouragement throughout this journey. The classroom environment was always positive, and we were all motivated to learn and improve together. I am grateful for the friendships I have made and the memories we have shared. Each one of you has inspired me in different ways, and I have learned from your unique experiences and perspectives.

Lastly, I want to thank my family and friends who have supported me in my language learning journey. They have been patient and understanding. Their support has been invaluable and has motivated me to keep going.

Time does indeed pass quickly, and it is hard to believe that the semester is coming to an end. Reflecting on this journey of learning Chinese, I can say that I have learned so much, not just in terms of language proficiency, but also in terms of personal growth and development.

In terms of my Chinese language skills, I am proud of the progress that I have made. From struggling to understand basic vocabulary to being able to hold simple conversations, I feel that I have come a long way. However, what I am most proud of is the mindset shift that I have experienced. I have learned to embrace the learning process, to be patient with myself, and to take risks in my language practice. This mindset shift has helped me become a better language learner, but it has also translated to other areas of my life. I have become more resilient, more open-minded, and more willing to take on new challenges.

In terms of personal growth, this journey of learning Chinese has certainly contributed to my journey of self-discovery. I have learned more about my own learning style, my strengths and weaknesses, and my values. Moreover, being part of a supportive and encouraging community of language learners has been a truly enriching experience.

To my classmates, I want to say that I have been inspired by your dedication and hard work. Each of you has brought something unique to the classroom, and it has been a pleasure to learn from you. I wish you all the best in your future language learning endeavors.

In conclusion, this journey of learning Chinese has been a transformative experience for me, and I look forward to continuing to grow and learn in the future. Thank you all for an amazing semester!

When reflecting back on this semester, I have two proudest moments. The first is during the oral exam with 王老师。 I realized how much I have improved since high school when I took oral exams. I am now able to comprehend and respond quickly to questions being asked. The second proud moment I have is when I was working, and one of my friends was speaking to her dad in Chinese, and I was able to figure out a few sentences of what she was saying! I have caught myself singing some of the songs we have watched in class. I'm grateful and want to sat thank you to 王老师 for being patient with me because my Chinese is not the best, but she has made learning so fun!

# data[].attributes.body
I have really enjoyed taking Chinese this semester and I have learned a lot. At first, I was hesitant to take Chinese because I thought it would be too difficult, but it has ended up being one of my favorite courses that I have taken here at UVA. This course and experience has helped teach me to keep trying things even if I think they might be difficult. That has certainly been an important lesson for me to learn and will help me with my coming years at UVA and beyond. One of my favorite experiences and personal proudest moments regarding Chinese outside of the classroom has definitely been when I overheard people speaking in Chinese in the dining hall and was able to understand a lot of what they were saying. I am very grateful that I took this class and learned a lot and look forward to continuing to learn Chinese here at UVA.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, taking this class has been by far the best decision I've made at UVA. When I was in secondary school I took Chinese for 6 years and didn't learn as deeply as I had hoped to because my classes always had too many students.

这个学期我的中文课只有七个人！Having such a small class definitely makes the learning experience better. As a student, I am forced to engage deeply with the material and I'm always practicing in class and outside.

I'm probably most proud of all of the instances that I have practiced Chinese in public with strangers. Whether that's at work, in an airport, or out shopping, I love practicing my Chinese and everyone has been super kind and helpful.

This has been a semester from hell for me with the aftermath of 上学期的mass shooting. However, this Chinese class has been a rock for me and has given me a place where I have a constant routine and it's helped keep me sane more than just about anything else.

谢谢王老师、白素菲、马博威、凯凯、赵朱迪、李建明、卢安森、张曦月、和别人。

I really enjoyed this class this semester. It was more helpful and more interesting than any other language class I’ve taken before in high school or college. I’ll continue to take Chinese next semester. I’ve learned a lot of characters and grammar, more than I thought I would have at the beginning of the semester because of the short time. My main goal at the beginning of the semester was to improve my listening and speaking, and this class helped a lot with that. I will continue to work on it throughout the other Chinese classes. This was class was very fun and useful and one of my favorite classes this semester.

# data[].attributes.body
Over the course of the semester, I have gotten a lot better at being able to understand and communicate in Chinese. Initially, I did not like speaking because I was afraid I would butcher the language, now while my speaking is far from perfect, I can speak a lot better. An achievement that I was proud of is being able to watch a TV show in Chinese and understand certain lines without having to read the subtitles! It's also really fun when I'm walking by posters in Chinese and I don't need a translator to see what it says. Definitely will be continuing my study in Chinese, 谢谢王老师教得很好！

Due 5月2日上课以前
Time indeed flies. 时间过guò, pass得很快！For this final reflection, Laoshi would like you to reflect on this whole journey of learning Chinese this semester. Educators often say “the ultimate goal of learning is to change minds”.  So what has changed? not just in terms of your Chinese, but also about things you can use in other aspects of your life. 除了中文以外，你还学了什么？Have learning Chinese this semester in any way helped you grow as a language learner, a professional in your future field of study, and as a person in general? Has this journey contributed to your general journey of self-discovery and helped you learn more about yourself? And how that might affect your coming years at UVA and beyond?

This is also a time to celebrate what we have achieved together. Just looking at what you have written and produced for your final project! Compared to where you started in January, you should be proud! You have learned SO MUCH within only 15 weeks. Laoshi can't be more proud of your great work ethics, the support and grace you've shown toward one another, and what you have achieved.

Please share with your classmates your personal proudest moment of this journey. Is it how you bounced back from a setback? Is it a “Chinese moment” when you understood a phrase while watching a Chinese movie? Is it a moment that you did something that had warmed someone's heart or put a smile on someone's face? Or is it when you realized learning Chinese had indeed started opening doors and introducing new opportunities and experiences for you? Have you started dreaming in Chinese or  blunted 谢谢 when you meant to say "Thank you"？: )

There are so many reasons to be grateful. While the end of the semester is upon us, let us use this 中文歌 to thank all who have helped us. 你想谢谢谁？为什么？

And of course as always, include anything else that is meaningful for you. And as always, tell a few of your classmates what you think about their reflections before/after you post your own.

The conversation went really well. I was able to understand every sentence my friend threw at me. I even told him to speak a little faster in order for me to get a better grip on distinguishing between certain words. This not only allowed me to become a better listener, it also allowed me to become more fluent in the language. We practiced describing what I did over the weekend, making an appointment, and even described the school life. Overall the practice went a little over 20 minutes and greatly boosted my understanding.

Practice with me and my 中国朋友 went well. We got to meet in person this weekend because I went home. We practiced asking how we were when we met up, and we planned to go eat at various places this weekend. We practiced calling each other for the scenario and setting a time to practice for the test this weekend. We also practiced the scenario where I was the teacher and he was the student making an appointment and vice versa. I think the practice went pretty well, but we’ll probably practice more Monday night to get more solid.

星期六我给中文朋友{打}了一个电话。 我们说  about how 我有一个考试  for 下个星期这个课 。 I told her the date（星期二）and time（两点）that I would have to take it, and that it was on 第五课和第六课. 我问她 if 她可以帮我准备考试。 The conversation was good. It was a bit harder than normal because the sentence structures are getting more complex. But she corrected me on my mistakes and it was good!
