Language Challenge So I am deciding to do the language challenge but using the program I am already using to learn Chinese. I figure this will help me to really kick myself in the butt and study more often. Three hours a week isn't bad out of 168 hours in a week. This will also help me put my goals down on paper on what I plan to accomplish in those 6 weeks and focus on them. Good luck to all those who are also taking the challenge.

New Phrases Skyping with native Chinese speakers is really helping my understanding and retaining of information that I learn. New phrases That I have learned: (Trying from memory--no notes) 我在工作。 你有在工作吗？ 我聊天我的朋友。 我在这里。 I forgot some of the other sayings but I will remember them with practice.

First Skype I had my first Skype 'lesson' with Sunny and I learned some new phrases. 你在吗？ 在干什么呢？ 你有工作吗？ 在下雨。

Materials The materials or sources I use to work on my Chinese include FSI language courses online, My old Chinese notes from high school which I still have, A Chinese dictionary and a 'Visual Bilingual Dictionary'

你 好。 你好。我 叫 Andrea Scott。 我 中国 名字 是 安家 斯考特。 我 是 美国人。 我 是 二十四。
