Knowing I will be staying in Taiwan for the long run there was one thing I was giving myself a true challenge for my own self improvement. Learn Chinese... Speak and Write.
I have always kept it on the side lines for more than 5 years and decided to take a serious next level initiative. I have signed up for intense Chinese language learning class 101 (The Beginning Basic Course)
Requested Book Requirements
wow... can’t believe I am a student again. :)
Class & School Introduction (Tsing Hua University - Taiwan)
In the beginning it seems like its easy going with basics - Hello, my name is bla bla bla. I like this and that~
Class keeps a low number of total students to be effective and focused.
At first, the homework seemed to be OK... not too bad.
After 3 weeks...... the intensity increased by quad fold and needed to memorize the Chinese characters.
There was only one way to learn Chinese characters...
READ - WRITE - REPEAT
and Again and Again and Again~~~
READ - WRITE - REPEAT
READ - WRITE - REPEAT
READ - WRITE - REPEAT
and HELP each other and CHECK each other in need~
Overall there is still about 2 months to go and will update with progress as we keep on movin forward!!!
Stay tuned!!~
I will post more followups on what I learned and some tips n tricks I realized~ All in all, Chinese is a very dynamic language and as challenging it may look, its actually pretty fun!
Thanks for checking out my blog!~ :)
to be Continued....
Update : I am really enjoying the art of Chinese characters... using a brush you can truly understand why the brush strokes are the way they are. I posted a video below. (First time on DTube)
