    I got up late today.

    The weather outside is very good today, but still very cold. I got up very late.


    This part is pretty good!

    Now I am just get up soon, and now my hair is messy, not wash gargle, sitting in front of a computer.

     

    I think this is what you are trying to say: "I just got up. My hair is messy, and I have not washed or gargled because I am sitting in front of a computer."

     

    I hope my English can progress every day! ~

     

    This sentence is perfect. If you keep practicing you will do well!

    The hint is that the word 'sit' is not alone but included in the phrase 'to sit well with'. That is an expression that means a person finds the subject acceptable or, in some cases, desirable.

    Today's work: 当前 更艰巨. 我 差. 并我新交. 我会力图好明天. Dāng qián gēng jiān jù. Wǒ chā. Bìng wǒ xīn jiāo. Wǒ huì lì tú hǎo míng tiān. Today was difficult. I made a mistake. I also made new friends. I will be sure to do better tomorrow. I had to look up most of these words, but maybe if I write in Hanzi and Pinyin more it will get easier :)

    It was nice to meet you, too. 

     

    You had one small error in your first sentence: "Today is my first time to come here" should be "Today is my first time coming here." That is something known as a 'present participle' in English. Many people who speak English fluently do not know what a 'present participle' is either, so it's a very small mistake. Everything else was perfect!

     

    English has a lot of ways to say the same thing. For example, you could also say, "Today is my first time here." or "This is my first day here." All of which are the same. Let us know if you ever want help! :)

    First lesson: Learning Chinese is daunting but I had a great first lesson. I need to work on my pinyin pronunciation and try to memorize the words Fannie had me learn. I learned that, "Wo shi me yo zhangfu" means, "I do not have a husband." Since I am male I think this is a very useful statement.

    I find pronunciation difficult. Pinyin is different from Romanization (which is how English speakers pronounce letters by reading) and it can be confusing to tell if I am saying the word right.

     

     Reading hanzi characters is also a challenge.  This is probably the most difficult part of learning Mandarin.
