XIEXIE NI my langauge partner(^_^) I am started my chinese lesson no words can express how happy I am today..I thought I were about to learn chinese on my own way (searching on chinese mandarin site in the internet.)reading the articles about chinese is also one way of learning but I appreciate the kindness of a chinese guy a friend from here (italki friend)who willingly want to help me.And I was surprise he waited me to online and start our session for study chinese,without asking in return.Seriously i got interested to learn chinese ,first because of the chinese tv dramas aired here in the Philippines (dubbing on our native language FILIPINO).When I heard the original language they speak i got curious and start liking to listen especialy the music they use. I like the melody of the music of Taiwan.Secondly I got interested in chinese coz I want to learn their culture& traditions and lastly I want to travel in chinese country taiwan and china meet chinese people.But for now im satisfied that I have a friends here.Language is not a hindrance to build a new foundation of good frienship..XIEXIE NI for my langauge partner.
