I started learning Chinese during the spring of my junior year in high school, about seven or eight months ago. At the same time, one of my really good friends found out that she was moving to Shanghai, and so we did some of our learning together. She’s been in China for almost three months now, and I’ve still been learning. I really want to visit her, both so that I can see her again and so that I can explore. I really love learning Chinese, and I want to see if I’ll like China.
