I take Chinese because my school only offered Spanish and Chinese.  I already speak fluent Spanish so I wanted ti take something different. I have been taking Chinese for 6 years 3 in middle and this is my third in high school. In middle school I took Chinese once a week and I din't learn much. In high school I had Chinese every other day for 90 minutes. Freshmen year I learned very basic Chinese. Later in Sophomore year I had the same Chinese schedule but the teacher was not good.  Now I take online because my school cut the program and I need three years of a language to graduate.

My previous Chinese textbook was Chinese your way for Chinese 1B. I didn't have a Chinese textbook before then. I know about 200 words and can use present Chinese without signal words. I don't practice Chinese that much out of Class because I have no one to practice with.

I expect to learn more Chinese and comprehend more sentence structure and improve my proficiency. I also want to speak without pausing much to think how to answer.

Wǒ shàng 11 niánjí.

我的爱好有画画，看书，和听音乐。
Wǒ de àihào yǒu huà huà, kànshū, hé tīng yīnyuè.

I have been learning Chinese for about 6 years now: three years in middle school and now almost three years in highschool. The first three years I learned Chinese, the teacher took a very relaxed approach, so I did not learn much. Then in highschool I had Chinese every other day and I learned more. I learned the most Chinese through this online course when I took Chinese 1B last semester.

I have previously used Chinese Your Way 1B as a textbook, among others that I cannot recall at the moment, and I would say that I have a rudimentary grasp of about 200 words. I will recognize more than I can use. I know the basic grammar structures that I learned last semester in 1B and can present sentences in that way. I have to think a little, since it does not come out instantly like English or Cantonese.

I get to practice my Chinese outside of class with my dad, as he knows how to speak Mandarin. However, this is not very often as Cantonese is the other main language on our home besides English.

This semester I hope to learn more Chinese, hopefully to the point when I can speak what I know naturally.

Wǒ de àihào shì playing trumpet

I chose to study Chinese because it wasn’t Spanish, and for the most part, I enjoyed the past six years.

**I think this is supposed to go here**

I have been learning Chinese for six years, for the first three, it was an hour every week. Then my first two years in high school, I had Chinese every other day for 90 minutes. However, my school dropped Chinese this year, so that’s why I’m here. I enjoyed Chinese class until my sophomore year of high school, when we got a terrible teacher, and I’m not a fan of online classes, but it is my only option to get a third language credit.

My previous textbook was “Chinese Your Way 1B” I don’t have a very good idea how many words I’ve mastered, I would guess 150-200.

Yes, 如果你去Cleveland, 我建议你买东西。

我sometimes practice outside of 汉语课。

I hope that I will do well, I think I have a better idea about how to handle an online class after last semester.

成长的烦恼算什么
Take it easy with the growing pains

经常会想长大多好
Always think it’s so good to grow up

yǒu xiē shì qíng què zhī néng xiǎng xiàng
有些事情却只能想象
But something we can only imagine

想说就说想做就做
Say what you want to say, do what you want to do

wéi le míng tiān de zì jǐ gǔ zhǎng
为了明天的自己鼓掌
Applaud for my own in the future
