My personal introduction in Chinese Hi everyone! This is my first try to write produce anything in Chinese. I would appreciate if someone could correct what I wrote as I know it is very bad and I want to practice saying this once I have a correct version. Thanks!

This is what I'm trying to say :) My name is Kieran and I'm from Scotland. I am currently trying to learn to speak Chinese. I normally study for one hour every day. I have only been learning for 3 months. I want to learn because I want to go to China next year. I also hope to learn to read Chinese characters so that I can read about Chinese history and philosophy. The truth is that I don't want to learn to write because I think it will be too difficult and take too long. I was born in Scotland but I moved to Canada when I was 12 years old with my parents, older brother, and two younger sisters. Now I live in Mexico so that I can practice speaking Spanish while teaching myself Chinese. I work as a mechanical engineer for a Canadian company but I work from home in Mexico. When I have time, I love to study languages, read, travel, and practice martial arts with my friends. I think learning about many different countries and languages is very enriching.
