Hi everyone! 大家好！ I'm an ABC living in the United States, a native English speaker that speaks American English. 我是一位在美国出生的中国人，母语是英文。I am hoping to pick up Chinese again, and maybe find someone who I can help too. 我希望能真假我的听说读写中文的能力，然后可能也在找到一个我能帮助的人。I hope we can be friends! 希望能当好朋友！Skype: icarusxwings

April 12, 201200 First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hi everyone, I come from China, I'm 30 years old, and I'm female.
English is <strike>so</strike> essential <strike>in</strike> to my work, so I <strike>also</strike> hope to <strike>know</strike> make <strike>more</strike> new friends here<strike>,</strike> and <strike>know</strike> have friends from all over the world. I also want to <strike>know</strike> learn more stories, which is interesting, right?
Nice to meet you! 希望可以做好朋友。
Your journal is pretty good, but there are a couple things that you should keep in mind. The first letter of the first word in every sentence, all proper nouns, and the pronoun "I", are always capitalized. English grammar is also a little different from the Chinese grammar. You can't just connect everything with commas. What you are doing is called a comma splice.
There are also several words you used strangely. You don't usually use "so" with "essential", because "essential" means that it is necessary and there is only one level of necessity. You "make friends" and you "know people", but you don't "know friends". 我觉得这个就是跟中文一样的，一个人可以做朋友，还可以知道其他的人,也可以有朋友，但是从来不知道朋友。
如果我把中文写错了，对不起。I hope that helped!

What are you trying to say when you say "i whis it`s funny"? I don't understand.
Make sure you capitalize the first word of each sentence and put the space after the period, not before.
You are so lucky that you don't have school this week. =) I'm jealous.0 votedNovember 15, 20100
