Post Content

Hi! Welcome to this blog, my Chinese learning log.

After a dismal start on my previous blog, I’m back (with a vengeance, I hope) and I’ll be doing my best to post something here at least once a week. Most of the content will be stuff I’ve learned that I’m going to pass on (they say you don’t really know something until you’ve taught it), but there will also be the occasional news post relating to China, Taiwan, or the Chinese language, and I’ll share any good online links I discover. You can also find resources for learning Chinese in the ‘links of interest’ section below.

I hope this is of benefit (or amusement) to someone. Whether it is, or isn’t, I want to know, so please post comments, or get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.

About this page

Living in Taiwan for two and a half years got me interested in learning Mandarin Chinese. I’m not very good at it yet, but one day hope to be able to read, write, listen and speak fluently. This page documents my progress, and will hopefuly help others on the same journey, as well.
