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.

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.
