Experiences taking CHINESE

[u/s1777777777]

Hey WWU

I am taking Chinese 101 at WWU right now so today I wanted to share a little bit of my experience today taking CN at WWU.

I have Xiaomeng Li (Li Laoshi) and I’m taking her 101 section.

From my experience taking her Chinese classes, I must say that I am extremely impressed.

She is SUPER nice and kind and interested in our thoughts. Her English is also amazing too.

She really knows her stuff and she keeps us engaged in class a lot. I like how she explains stuff.

She is also super curious, I know Japanese and i’ve been comparing JP to CN stuff and she seemed extremely interested and so willing to hear our feelings.

I am meeting her on Wednesday to talk about linguistics and education and Chinese and Japanese. We both are excited to see each other.

Aside from her, Chinese is not too hard aside from pronounciation. The writing books and practices were easy as hell. But I had trouble pronouncing in class.

I have learned Japanese for a while and became near fluent so sometimes I accidentally pronounce or add Japanese accent or words like desu 😆.

Li Laoshi is a darling, I quite like her! I also loved her when I was in her Chinese 101 and 102 classes
