that’s pretty good. I have also learned Chinese for three years. What a coincidence that we have the same names! My Chinese name is Wáng ài weí but the Wei is the one meaning health

Unfortunately, I’m not as good as the rest of the class who have had a much longer history than I with the Chinese language. French is another challenging language to learn. I learned it for around 7 years. I’ve achieved some sort of a passive billingualism with French, where I can read and understand very well but can’t say a word. It’s a shame.

But the best thing about these hard languages is the reward you get from all the toil and trouble. After learning French for 3 years, I was almost gonna give up. But I hung on until I graduated from high school and in my 12th grade French class we got to read Madame Bovary in French. Finishing the book was like a reward for me.

That’s really good of your parents. My mum did try to force me to learn Chinese as a child but I always gave her tons of excuses coz I just hated the language so much. HAHAHA.

BRAVO!!!!!

This makes me want to actually go an learn French so that I don’t look silly when my family is around me. They speak English most of the time, but I want to know the secrets they say in French! *wink wink* But you’re such an inspiration. And this really is an accomplishment, Congratulations!! If I was your Chinese Instructor I would give you full points for being equally awesome and hard working!
