Hi. I decided to join italki because I thought it'd be interesting to have people to study languages from (from what the About Me box suggested, a language exchange partner). I am currently studying Chinese as a foreign language in my university but I have been studying languages by myself i.e picking up lines from the Internet, television drama, movies and even music ; I am not that good but I think I can survive a day or two. I self learnt Japanese, Korean & Chinese but I choose to further master the Chinese language as 1) I would love to get an A in my Chinese class. 2) my boyfriend is Chinese (but this is irrelevant). 3) I want to brush up my Chinese grammar and also vocabulary. I come from Brunei & I am fluent in English and also Malay. I am currently a university student majoring in Geology and I am studying in Malaysia. hi! :)

    helpful Chinese conjunctions? In English grammar we have the 5Ws1H (Who, What, Where, When, Why & How), words such as for, and, because, so, then, hence & much more. sometimes when I want to speak something in Chinese, I know the two sentences I want to say but the grammar here is that I do not know the word to connect those two so sometimes it is difficult to express what I want to say. help? :)

    Chinese 101

    hi. It's been difficult for me to write Chinese characters on my laptop as I do not have the Chinese characters on my keyboard. T__T so how I've been studying? I learn characters, recognize them & uses google translate (shame...). As we know, google translate takes direct translation & you have to search for the correct word you're looking for am I right? but I've been studying my handwriting..using a dictionary.

    most of the languages I learnt, I learnt via music, television dramas, television shows & my peers. I would say I have a knack for languages. should have taken up linguistics instead aye? but anyway.

    大家好〜
    我的名字是 Yatii.
    我的中国是不是很好...所以..我想学习中国.
    即使 中国是很难, 我喜欢它.
    请告诉我 :)


    my Pinyin is horrible, haha. really.
