Little by little...

I'm now finished with my third week here at language school! More pictures are on Facebook and Instagram.
Some bullet point blessings:
  • I'm slowly beginning to speak with friends and peers in Chinese (before, it was mainly during class, or with my language partner). I've also tried writing in my Chinese journal. Even though I only have a small knowledge of Chinese, I can tell it's very choppy! But I know it's just one step towards improving! :) One of the teachers at the English college (also my language partner) tells me, “越嗨越好!(yuèhāiyuèhǎo)” This basically means, the more I practice, the better I'll get!

  • Several of us are going to visit a tea plantation on Sunday!
  • I have time to read this weekend! Though I love reading, I definitely have not made time for it! Maybe this weekend is just the beginning of a good habit!
  • I really enjoy teaching kids English! I've been volunteering an hour a day at the English language academy, and sporadically getting to visit some classrooms near our town. It's so fun to see more confidence and progress when the students get to practice what they're learning in the classroom!
  • Today it's really rainy, so here's my song of the day!
