Marcus's notebook entry: Jul 02, 2010
I feel so unmotivated lately. I was going through a period of intense language learning, listening to audio Chinese lessons, studying hanzi, and I think I burnt myself out a bit. This is not the first time I have done this either. I have been learning Chinese for close to three years now, on and off, mostly self-taught. I really want to get better at the language, but right now, I just cant be bothered learning much.
Hopefully this phase will pass. Despite this, I still use it quite a bit in day to day chat with some of the friends I have made here. I use this funny combination of English and Chinese, where wherever possible, I will drop pinyin into my standard conversation, so I am actually using a kind of reverse Chinglish :)
Anyway, that's all I have to say today. If you read this, I hope you have a nice day.

I talk to quite a lot of people very regularly. I find it not only interesting meeting new people, but it really helps me learn Chinese. I try and use as much pinyin as possible - but i should really talk to more people with voice. I tend to get a bit embarrassed talking Chinese as even though i know quite a lot, when speaking to a native Chinese speaker...it's just a bit intimidating.

Yup, exactly something on my mind. :)
I even feel down for this recently. I am here to improve my language skills. And that is a great bonus if I can get to know a good friend or two (well, actually i think that might be the best part of exprience here). It means nothing with millions of followers who never contact at all. But I clicked agree button for the reason to be a polite person...........

Hi,Marcus.
It happens. Once you find something interesting,you would pick it up. Maybe you should find a Chinese girl and fall in love with her,then you get enough motivation to learn.lol
