I have no idea what she said beforehand or afterwards, as I was walking in the opposite direction, and didn't have time to hear the rest, but I heard those words so clearly, and that made me happy :) Sometimes I feel like I am learning lots and making lots of progress, and yet at the same time I listen to a Chinese radio station or people talking in real life and I have no idea what's going on, almost as if it's a different language, and I have so so so much more to learn, and it's slightly deflating. So it was nice today to have those two experiences (the story on the radio and the lady in the shopping centre) where I felt like I could finally start to apply a little bit of what I'd learnt in real life situations.
