First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am a Chinese student studying in US. I have been here for half a year and still have some trouble with oral communication. I thing more practice is badly needed for me. I have had a language partner in my campus last semester, but she will go China next year. Hope there could be someone who is interested in Chinese would like to communicate with me. I speak standard mandarin Chinese. I am also a nice person, who will be very patient when chatting.
