I am a new Mandarin student. I'm doing fairly well at learning written Mandarin, but I am struggling with speaking, and especially, listening. I just got back from six weeks in China (mostly in Shanghai) and my listening and speaking has improved. I loved China and I want to go back to stay for longer. I am hoping to go to Shanghai in 2013 to study for a semester or longer. I teach digital media at Vancouver Island University in Canada. I hope to learn Mandarin well enough to do more graduate work in China. My goal would be to spend a semester, or even a year, studying in China. My interests are in digital media (web and video production, social media, and text/visual culture such as cartoons, comic books, posters, etc.).

    Love Is Like...

    Love is like a rainbow.
    Blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow.
    Only after the storm,
    Can it be more colorful.

    Love is like a glass of sweet cocktail.
    Scented, sweet, strong and other feelings that hard to tell. 

    Strong and mysterious. Scented,
    The fresh fruity aftertaste lasts so as to last on your lips,
    While the bitter loneliness and in your heart melts fades.

    (The second stanza is a little bit weird? So you are more than welcome to help me make it better.Thanks! Gracias! Merci! 谢谢!唔该晒!)

    make dinner

    My friend's boyfriend is going to a travel leaving soon on a trip. Before his departure, my friend needed me and another friend to help, that's her make a sumptuous dinner for her boyfriend. We were all thumbs, and often we screamed from time to time in the kitchen as we cooked. Every time he heard the sound and he ran into the kitchen, he was worried that we might get someone was hurt. Finally, he simply let told us go to the living room waiting and wait for him,. and he was helpless to say that an emotion:He couldn't help but say, " it's a true that three women in a drama!"
    Two hours later, he had made a meal so big it filled the table! table of a big meal, wWow, it was so delicious! We kept eating As we ate, he watched us with an expression of helplessness, and told us, "This is the best gift I could get before I going to a traveling!"
    Haha! :D

     

    Note: I'm not sure if you mean to say "expression of helplessness", or if you mean "expression of happiness." Both would be grammatically correct and make sense in your post, but they have subtley different meanings.

    I would like to learn the Guzheng

    Recently, I've really wanted to learn a musical instrument. I am a stupid person, I almost do not understand music. I am not a musical persion, but I like listening to music. When I was a kid, I can playing played the trombone, but just at a very basic level. And then, I haven't never played the trombone since I was a child. Now and I have already forgot forgotten how to play. trombone. It's so sad. Moreover, I had also played the bamboo flute when I was younger, but now.......:(
    I am very envious of my classmates because of the at our graduation party, because they can play played many instruments. Our graduation party is was very exciting because it has of their performances. I know it's easy to learn the Guzheng, so I really want to have a try. But I can't find a teacher to help me, because I have no money. And Also, the important thing is time catch catches up with me everyday, and I felt feel I do not have the energy to learn something I like. Even though I need to find a job after the completion of the completing my examination, I hope I can still have a chance to learn the Guzheng. If you have any suggestions, please tell me, thank you!

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hello, I'm Rei, a chinese speaker. I'm very interested in learning English. When I was 9 to 13 year-old, I lived in Tokyo, Japan, so I can speak Japanese too, but not at a sophisticated level. I love to laugh and to smile. I hope to make some new friends.
