第四天

今天晚上我外公说：“你明年去中国吗？” 我回答：“去。我明年去中国“。他说：”你现在学习汉语吗？“ 我回答：”学习。我喜欢汉语。“ (学 sounds more oral, 学习 is fine,too)

他说：”你会说现在一些汉语吗？“现在会说

我回答：”不会。我不会现在说一些汉语，现在不会

可是我在学习。“ 他说：你会现在写一些汉语吗？“ 现在会

我回答：“一块，可是不很多。” 一点 （一块 is wrong）

This evening, my grandfather said: "Are you going to go to China next year?" I answered: "Yes. I will." He said: "Are you learning Chinese now?" I replied: "I am. I like Chinese." He said: "Can you speak some Chinese now?" I said: "No, but I am learning." He said: "Can you write some Chinese now?" I replied: "A little, but not very much."



I'm unclear as to when it is appropriate to drop pronouns... Any tips?

To address this, could you give some specific situations where you feel confused?

Also， should I use 了 after “他说”，我回答, and things like that?
you could use 了 after 他说 or not, it depends on different situations

nomally when 他说 is followed by a clause, we won't use 了

他说：“我今天没空。”  

“他说了，他今天没空”  when I  am relating sth as told by others, which means what I related happened in the past, I will use 了 after 他说，but it would be fine if I don't use 了 as well, (“他说，他今天没空” is also right"

Thank you!

Didn't see your last paragrah until now.  You can also rewrite as in a dialog form for which this is what it really is...

Grandpa: ...

Me: ...

No you should not use 了 since these are direct speech.  In using it, it can become passive.

Corrected from your English intent.

今天晚上我外公对我说：“你明年会去中国吗？” 我回答：“去。我明年会去中国“。他说：”你现在在学习汉语吗？“ [In Chinese, pronouns are not needed when the context is clear] 我回答：”学习是的。我喜欢汉语中文。“
他说：”你会说现在一點些汉语吗？“ 我回答：”还不会。我不会现在说一些汉语，可是不过我还在学习。“ 他说：你会现在写一些汉语文字吗？“ 我回答：“只是几个而已一块，可是不很多。”

This evening, my grandfather said: "Are you going to go to China next year?" I answered: "Yes. I will." He said: "Are you learning Chinese now?" I replied: "I am. I like Chinese." He said: "Can you speak some Chinese now?" I said: "No, but I am learning." He said: "Can you write some Chinese now?" I replied: "A little, but not very much."

There is a very subtle difference between 漢語 and 中文.  We can understand but right away we know you are not a native speaker.
