Please read my profile carefully before contacting me or responding to my messages. I am constantly receiving mail that simply ignore it. I DO NOT USE CHAT PROGRAMS. WE WILL COMMUNICATE THROUGH ITALKI. I can NOT learn or help with speaking/listening. I can help with things like writing, grammar, and vocabulary. If you need help in English, please let me know exactly how I can help you. I am mostly learning Chinese to understand Chinese songs. My knowledge is mostly what I learn from songs as I'm mainly learning to understand the lyrics. Most are Mandarin but many are Taiwanese or Cantonese and may use vocabulary unique to the dialect. Understanding lyrics is pretty much my first and foremost goal in Chinese. I have been learning this way for several years. Only recently I've been learning daily language for chatting but it is not important. I still need to check a dictionary and my notes all the time because I haven't memorised a lot of the vocabulary, especially all the meanings and usages. I'm definitely working on this of course. I would like someone who can help me with my translations, going through them line. I hope you can explain the errors I've made. I have hundreds that are untranslated or not translated well. Many people tell me that this also helps with their English learning as well. I may not always be online on italki and real life often interferes but I will respond when I'm available. I don't require real-time conversations, just leave messages any at time and I'll get back to you. I usually don't know when I'm availabe, so setting up 'appointments' isn't very ideal. Thank you very much.
