Anyway, you ,at presen,t in china, where there are many chances to practise your speaking with native speaker. But there is an undenying that when you do some practice with local people, I am believed that i find the problem of difference between local dialect and normal mandarin. that is why i want to give you a proposal. don't do some conversation with someone who can not speak very standard mandarin. that is bad for your listening and speaking. yours sincerely Adam Chen hi,Elizabeth

Lessons or selling your work?? You could add it to your self-promoting poster!! I love you. I know that you are doing well with your Chinese - you are so hard on yourself! I started stripping the kitchen cupboards - actually cupboard (singular!!) - I figure it will take me at least 3 years!! Not an easy process. You have to start somewhere. Take care of yourself.
