I just had my first even Mandarin lesson. Wah! Talk about total immersion. It turns out that my teacher speaks very little English - so it's Mandarin or broke. Fortunately, my Mandarin is not so lacking as I thought. It's amazing what you can dredge up when you have to. She also speaks some German, so it may turn out to be trilingual lessons from now on. Still, for £15 an hour for a one-to-one lesson I cannot complain.

    漢語拼音不是中文. 要是你要寫中文 , 你一定要用漢字.

    为何这些外国人这么喜欢学中文？你自己的语言不充足，是不是？
