The Experience of First Having Lesson with Italki Teachers Since italki provids such a wonderful platform to share things in another language, I decide to write down something so as to keep my memory as fresh as possible. Even years has passed, when I read these words, all those wonderful memories can still come back at once. On 6 Jan. I registered an account on italki. On 10 Jan., I made up my mind to join the Language Challenge. And today, I had my first two lessons, a French and a English lesson respectively, with my itaki teachers. It was such a wonderful experience! During today's French class, to be honest, I spoke in French much more than that I have said within a year of French learning at school. I was a bit embarrassed though because the level of my French is very low. It really took me long time to finish a single sentence. But Natacha kept encouraging me to ask questions and answer them in French, of which I appreciat a lot. After taking the lesson, when I thought back, I just couldn't believe I have spoken in French for one hour, and I actually have the ability to use it as a tool of communication. Hope with more and more practice, I would be able to speak fluently in French some day. As for my first English lesson, it was in general fantastic, though we did have some problems with the network at first. I haven't had such a long time of communication completely in English for quite some time. And I just felt great that I can talk about whatever I want to talk about. I was hoping to improve my impromptu speaking, so Leigh gave me many interesting topics, based on which I could share my ideas. It can be very helpful, I think. Talking with her also gave me a feeling of talking with a friend, exchanging our views with each other. It ususally means a lot when we start to do something for the first time. It is my first time to have lessons here, which is something I have never thought about or imagined before. It's my honor and pleasure to start my Language Challenge journey with two great teachers. It was a good start, I think. And I hope I could be able to go further and keep searching for more during this journey.
