First day ：join to italki

Welcome!

Are you saying that you are a college student in China now?  You used the past tense (was).  Do you mean "I am a Chinese college student." perhaps?

Reciting words does drive everyone crazy.  I laughed because you added an S  to crazy and moved the R which looked like a blend of scary and crazy.  Learning a foreign language is scary and crazy so maybe you made up a good word, scarzy. :) Its not a real word but perhaps it should be.

Advice.... find a language partner.  Also spend as much time as you can watching videos in English.  I know the internet is different in China but if you can get American children's shows, not the babyish ones but ones intended for younger kids that are actually fun for their parents too, they will help your vocabulary and comprehension.  Try to learn a few new words every day.  Write down words that interest you most, ignore the rest.  One cute show my sons like (I have a son your age) is Phineas and Ferb.  Its quite funny.  Cooking shows like Chopped or Master Chef are wonderful, too.  Master Chef Junior has a lot of kids, but what they do is amazing.  Do be aware, that sometimes cooking shows have inappropriate words, too, so be careful.

Good luck with your studies!  And welcome to Italki!
