Currently picking up Japanese, hoping to improve my reading skills in both modern and classical Japanese. Would also like to become more fluent.
I am currently working as a software engineer in San Francisco. In the past I have written columns in English and taught Cantonese/Chinese to non-native speakers.
I am also learning Sanskrit and Tibetan
Thank you for the class
いろいろ話せてたのしかったです。😃
また会えるのを楽しみにしています。

I cannot wait to travel
I am going to go to Hollywood on March 16th and 17th. I will visit two movie studios by train/by Metrolink. I have hered that most people use their own cars and the public transportation system is not so developed in L.A. I am a little nervous about getting to the movie studios on time. Anyway, I cannot wait two days before my travel to America.
Not a complete list of course, but this is what I can think of for now:
消夜 (宵夜/夜宵)
建設/營造/製造/建立/締造/改造 (打造)
清潔 (搞衛生)
新年(春節)

單車 (China: 自行車, 腳踏車 Taiwan sometimes 單車)
面書 (China/Taiwan: 臉書, Malaysia: 面子書)
煮飯 (做飯)
餸 (菜)
菜 (青菜)
飯(白飯)
食 the verb (吃)
粥 (mostly 稀飯 but sometimes 粥;粥 seems to be used more often in Taiwan than in China)
麻雀 (麻將)
車/釘/褲/肚/梨 etc (車子/釘子/褲子/肚子/梨子 etc)
重點 (亮點)
注目 (吸睛/吸眼球)
車牌 (駕照)

In current day Mandarin 吃 is used as a verb and 食 is usually as a noun
In Cantonese and Classical Chinese, however, only 食 is used as both a noun and a verb.

Southern China: 恭喜發財
A more elegant way:新年進步
Be advised that 春節 is a relatively new term in the Chinese language and is not used in Hong Kong.

Don't worry, I don't think you wrote down a correct sentence. Looking at the word order, I am pretty sure it was not written by a Chinese native speaker.
