    da jia hao



    wo ye shi....seahorse fairy



    keyi xie / shuo 'zhongwen hen hao' chinese seems to be a lot more precise and assumes you dont need a pronoun or a verb like 'to be'



    wo xue zhongwen kuai liang nian le.



    Get a Chinese name as well.



    Wo de zhongwen minzi shi 'Mowen'



    It means Mo = ink and wen = language which is kind of strange as I write poetry.



    Hen gaoxing renshi ni -ni bao zhong.

    Wo ye xihuan Zhongwen. Jinnian, Zhongwen shi wo de aihao. Yinwei wo ye shi zhen jiu xuesheng, suoyi zhidao Zhongwen shi hen hao.



    I am not sure if I said that all right, feel free to correct. (What I tried to say Chiinese is my hobby this year. Because I am an acupuncture student, therefore knowing Chinese is very good.)

    Basically, I am studying to be an acupuncturist. I started studying Mandarin in September, because I think that it will help me to be able to understand acupuncture better, and to perhaps be able to read a lot of the classic texts that are not yet translated, or even if they are, to be able to read them in their truist form. In addition I know that for my degree I will eventually have to take several courses in "medical Chinese". I think that I will ultimately gain a better understanding of that if I know the basics and foundations of Mandarin. Ultimately, I would like to learn Cantonese as well.



    Since I started studying Zhongwen, I have completely fallen in love with it. I study it as a hobby, I study it above and beyond what is required for the class, and choose to study it whenever I have a moments free time.

    I love reading and writing in Hanzi. It is so soothing and meditative.



    Anyway, btw, I am knew here to Experience Project, and this is my very first post. So nice to meet you all. It is good to see other people are enjoying learning Chinese too.

    I wish I'd learned it too but I got to master Arabic for now. There are so many Chinese all over the world and they are united by "Mandarin" though there are many, many other dialects. Good luck to you!

    Wo yie xihuan zhong wen! J'aime le francais aussi. But I'm not quite fluent in either language. =P It's so awesome to see others who are so enthusiastic about learning a language!
