Immersion is key when it comes to language learning. With the numerous practice opportunities within and outside of classroom, I feel I’m making progress at a steady pace and getting comfortable in both spoken and written Mandarin. As my brain is making its way into the language, I now find myself occasionally thinking in Chinese. Thanks to variable teaching methods used at my school, the rewards and challenges are well balanced, making learning fun and even addictive.
