Over the past two semesters, I have taken Chinese 101 and 102 with Professor Miao F. Tseng. Both Chinese classes have given me skillful challenges to succeed and continue on the path of mastering the beautiful language of Chinese. In two semesters, I found myself learning more of the language than I thought possible. Everything that was taught is necessary and has helped me communicate with others who speak Chinese on a casual, elementary level. I have learned to express and discuss topics such as Food, Restaurants, Emotions, School life, Shopping, Sports, Health, Dating, Movies, Greetings, Weather, Clothes, etc. and to write over 200 characters in Chinese from memorization. Chinese 101 and 102 are two truly amazing courses. The one person that makes these two courses exceptional is the professor. Professor Tseng cares about each student's individual needs and takes her time to listen and teach her students. She takes care and has passion in doing her job as a Chinese professor. She thoroughly teaches each lesson and places emphasis on the topics and characters she knows is the most important and useful in daily life. Therefore, with Professor Tseng as a teacher, Chinese 101 and 102 has been more than an exceptional class and learning experience.
