My project - Language and Travel I have been working on many kinds of projects till now and my daughter is the longest and challengest project that I am targeting. Because of "my daughter" one, I am motivated every day to do everything for a bright future. In addition to it, another project outside of the work and the family that I have just started for nearly five months makes me happy. I name it "Language and Travel". I challenge myself by studying more languages besides Vietnamese as primary and English as second used for survival and work. And I want to see the result of my working hard by applying them for traveling. Back in December 2017, I kicked off the project with the first module - Mandarin language. The reason I picked Mandarin first is that I love watching Chinese TV Series and listening Chinese music. By learning the language, watching dramas and listening music, I can understand Chinese culture to prepare for my trip to China. I researched a lot before pushing myself a strict routine with Mandarin. Finally, I decided to go with the approach that I think it is suitable for me. I bought courses from yoyochinese.com to self-study some fundamental of Chinese. More information about yoyochinese, it is a website containing Mandarin grammar courses taught in plain English by the beautiful YangYang teacher. I completed the beginner level after three months while YangYang estimates six months for the completion. After beginner, I continue with Intermediate and YoYo300 Chinese Characters. However, I figured out that I have learned so fast and understood a lot but it is hard for me to listen to people and start a conversation. So, I did trial many one-one online speaking classes and finally, I chose italki.com because of the competitive price and convenience. I have been with italki.com twice a week for 2 months and I can see significant improvement recently. Now, I just do once a week one-one online speaking lessons, Intermediate grammar, and Chinese Characters and plan to achieve comfortable communication level by end of November which is one year Mandarin learning journey. I plan to release my first module with a two week trip to China in summer 2020. I know it is a long-term planning because I planned vacation trips for 2018 and 2019 already. Following with Mandarin, I will soon start by order my list including Korean, Japanese and Spanish. And I think you know where are my next trips after 2020, right? Thanks for review and correction.

我住的地方的交通 我在Atlanta住了四年了。这个地方的所有的东西都可以。这里有山有水。天气不热不冷。餐饮又多又好吃。学校还很好。可是我不喜欢Atlanta的交通。这里越有公司越有很多人,所以交通越来越很堵。我的家离公司平常日开车比周末开车需要很多时间。周末交通一点也不堵。我每天坐地铁上班因为平常日做地铁比开车快的很多。我每天开车去汽车站,然后坐巴士去地铁站坐地铁,下地铁的以后我走是个分钟去公司。家离公司需要一个小时。 可是如果开车需要左右一个小时半。有时候交通非常非常堵,路如是停车场,开车上班需要两个小时。

Book Reading The favorite book that I have ever read is "Build to Last". Although the book summarizes items to build a long last company, there are some aspects that I think a person can apply to build a personal reputation. After reading that book, I defined the core value of my life and it is not changed over the time. However, I may change action items for some time periods to still achieve that unchanged core value. There is not "right" or "wrong" decision as long as I am feeling happy in my journey. I like reading many genres of books such as technology books as I am working in IT industry and I need to improve day by day; self-improvement books to build up the motivation and other things to make my life better; novels to relax. When I start reading a novel, I totally stay focus on every single word and I even "save" my sleeping time to try to finish it. Reading helps me think positively, be calm, do things patiently, live a purposeful life and much more. Do you like reading? How do you feel the benefit of reading? As usual, thanks for your correction! Best, Trang

My day 03/07/2018 I had a busy day today when I woke up at 3:30 AM and now I am wrapping up my work to get back my nest. There were 2 meetings starting at 3:30 AM and ending at 4:30 AM with my team in Vietnam. Following that, I spent 1 hour to learn Mandarin by myself with the website yoyochinese.com and 30 minutes to learn English. Today I learned two lessons with 6 Chinese characters and took a review lesson for the total of 15 Chinese characters. So far I have studied 72 characters with the goal of 300 characters. After that, I helped my 4-year-old daughter prepare for her school and I prepared to go to work. I got to the office around 7:15 AM when I was the second person in the office. There were many meetings during the day today for standup, feature demo, new assignments for my team and issue discussion and I joined 1 hour online technical seminar. It was an extremely busy day but I felt very excited as I could resolve many things to add more value to the organization. And now at 5:30 PM I am going to finish this note to get home. After back home around 6:30, I will prepare dinner for my family and clean up after dinner. Then I will do exercise while my husband is taking a bath for my daughter. We will together watch an animator with my daughter and then read her a book. After at all, we go to sleep around 9:30-10:00 PM to start my day at 3:30 AM. I am really happy as my every day pasts meaningful. I am feeling I learn a lot for myself and contribute a lot to my family as well as my employer. Finally, thanks for your correction!
