Hi, I was born and raised in Jamaica and migrated to the US after graduating high school to further my education. I am currently pursuing a international business degree and for this purpose thought it would be great to learn a second language. I chose Chinese because I love the culture and I have been trying to learn it for the past two years with the Rosetta stones software. The sad thing is I haven't gotten that far, when I just started out it was great but after a while my progress fell and I lost motivation to continue, mainly because I have no one to have a conversation with in the language to help reinforce what I have learned. While rosetta stones is good its missing that authenticity of having a real conversation with someone from that culture, that is why I would love to meet someone I can have conversations with to teach me what rosetta cannot and to help me learn much faster and stay motivated to continue until I am a fluent speaker.
