I want to learn how to read and write in Mandarin.However I need people to practice with, as I do not have anyone yet.

I shall learn by myself for now. I am very determined to do so.

I surprised my friends from China today, since I said thank you to them in Mandarin :) .I have never spoken to them in their native language before.

Okies, am going to go off to zzz(sleep) now, see you all tomorrow.
