Hey guys, just a little bit about me. I'm from Australia, Gold Coast （澳大利亚 的 黄金海岸）. I am of Chinese descent i.e. my grandparents are from China. I've been living in Beijing for the last year now and I'm loving it here. Learning chinese and now working full-time. （大家好， 让我给你们一个小介绍， 我来自澳大利亚 的黄金海岸。 我是华裔， 我爷爷奶奶是中国人。 我从去年来北京学习，生活。爱上了北京。 一边工作，一边学中文。 I work hard, i play hard. I enjoy hanging out with friends, having a drink or 2. I enjoy pretty much all sports, touch football, snowboarding, surfing, table tennis, gym, to name a few. I'm also interested in business and have a few things I want to achieve in life. （这个我不翻译了 :P 想知道就问我吧。 小问题，"I work hard, I play hard" 最好用中文怎么说？） Feel free to drop by and say hello :p (and also feel free to correct me if my Chinese can be improved, both errors big and small :) )

    What do you find most challenging in learning language? e.g. is it not having enough exposure to the language speakers you want to learn from? Is it the lack of motivation because you are learning non-practical topics which cannot relate to real life?

    Making quality friends and language partners

    Hi Italki friends, I want to make more effort to get to know you better. This way, we can start some interesting conversations from our interests and experiences. I invite you all to introduce yourself in this discussion.

     

    Please mention your interests, hobbies, which countries you have lived in or where you hope to live in in the future, what language you are hoping to learn, and anything interesting about yourself.

     

    I look forward to getting to know you better! We can talk further on MSN as well.

    Is there anyone out there who is living overseas and learning a language? Or planning to do so one day?

    I have been living in Beijing, China for 3 years now. Studying full time Chinese for my first year and now living and working in Beijing. My time here has been amazing so far, with lots of good times and memories. Would love to share some stories with others who are also doing something similar or are interested in this?

    我在北京生活了3 年多了。 第一年学习中文，后来在北京开始工作，生活。在北京经验挺丰富，有很多美好的回忆。希望能跟对这个题目有兴趣的人聊一聊。

    Is a BORING day! (or "What a boring day!")

    Is a boring day, I have done nothing til now.
    In the morning , i watched the NBA game between Magic and Hawks. Magic was leading by 2-0. The game was very wonderful, the three-pointer was so amazing in the fourth quarter by Magic.
    Was on the internet all <strike>the </strike>afternoon. nothing to do. language partners were sleeping, because in the US<strike> and USA</strike>, our afternoon is their bedtime. reading some news in the netease<em> (what is this by the way?)</em>, they were just reporting all the same things about the EXPO, corruption<strike>s</strike>, crime<strike>s</strike>, high price of housing/accommodation....this was not news in my mind for a long time.
    Something attractive though was an article written by Stephen William Hawking about <strike>the </strike>Time travel. i thought if I could, i would go to tomorrow to see what<strike>'s</strike> the prize-winning <strike>number of</strike> lottery number is , then come back.

    <em>Hope this helps awp. At least you did something today to improve your english. Keep it up!</em>

    I hope this helps. not everyone will have the time to be best friends with everyone on their friends list. but you will eventually meet some people who you will find interesting, and they will feel the same about you after getting to know you more. 

    So good luck guys! and have some fun along the way! :D

     Hey guys,

    i know how you guys feel. But add oil! making friends takes time :) You cannot go from stranger to good friend in one blackboard comment. You should first exchange some comments and messages, get to know each other slowly, and show your personality or interests. Maybe chat on msn. This way, it is easier to connect with each other and have interesting conversations. 

    For me, learning a language is not just because we want to get good at it, or to get good marks in class. Sure that is important too, but learning a language is so we can connect with different people from different worlds, make new friends around the world, and share cultures and good times! So lets try to be less "I want to learn language NOW! be my friend so i can improve my language!". instead, lets say "hello, how are you doing? you're from ____! I love that place!......" for example. This way, language exchange is so much more fun.
