INTRODUCTION When I first signed up for this class, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that although I am Chinese, I do not know how to speak the language or write the characters. I was determined to master it, thinking that since I am already Chinese, it should come naturally. Boy was I wrong. From the very start, I learned that Chinese was a difficult language. It is unlike any of the languages that were taught in high school (French, Spanish and German). One cannot simply try to sound out words because the traditional Chinese characters give no indication as to how to pronounce the actual words. Nonetheless, now that I look back, I must admit that Chinese 101 is the best class I am taking here at the University. I feel a great sense of accomplishment leaving this class and I feel fully prepared to enter Chinese 102 in the spring. Tseng laoshi’s genuine interest in the learning process of her students makes the class interesting and enjoyable. My Most Excellent Work 1. Lesson 8- School Life 2. Lesson 7- Studying Chinese 3. Lesson 4- Hobbies The narrative from Lesson 8 contains many old and new vocabulary words. In addition, it also contains many grammatical structures that were taught. Although it is my shortest passage, my work from Lesson 7 describes the life of a typical college student. The last passage, from Lesson 4, is simply a fun dialogue between two friends. Despite the fact that the vocabulary is not very difficult, it does reflect what we had learned up to that point.
