我学中文在台湾的经验

大家好！ 我现在住在台湾学中文快到一个月了。目前我是在一个私立的大学学的。我比较喜欢这种的学校因为老师们们强调教口语，不是写字。听说更大的华语中心非常强调写字的能力，每个礼拜有听写的考试，一定要熟记很多的生词。此外，对我来说，台湾的字都很难因为我学过的中文是简体，所以在台湾有很多字我都看不懂，练习写生词也很累。

其实，我有一点失望对我的功课因为我大部分的生词都学过了。但是我的老师推荐我留在这个级因为我的文法还有问题。我觉得他说得对因为我还没学过这些星期的文法，但是我还想提高我的词汇。所以我故意地安排了自习的时间和方法。下课以后，我也听中文的博客，看中文的视频，试试读中文的书或是环境的牌子，跟语言交换对象聊天，和写这个小日记。

虽然我在中学已经学过中文， 但是我还不满意现在的程度。我打算6个月留在台湾，希望以后会更流利得说中文！

Hi everyone! I've been studying Chinese in Taiwan for around 1 month already. I'm currently in a small private university. I like this kind of university more than the larger ones because they focus more on speaking skills, not writing. I heard in bigger language centers they focus a lot on writing and have a dictation test every week where you need to memorize a lot of vocabulary. Additionally, Taiwan's characters are difficult for me because I previously studied simplified Chinese, so there are a lot of Taiwanese characters I can't read. Practicing how to write the vocabulary is also quite tiring.

I'm actually a bit disappointed with my classes since I already learned most of the vocabulary we're studying. However, my teacher recommended that I stay in the current class because my grammar is not that good. I think she's right because I haven't learned the grammar lessons we've been studying the past few weeks, but I still want to improve my vocabulary. Thus, I've purposely set aside time to self study. After class, I listen to Chinese podcasts, watch Chinese videos, try reading Chinese books and the signs in my environment, talk with language partners, and write journal entries like this.

Even if I've already studied Chinese, I'm not satisfied with my current level. I plan to stay in Taiwan for 6 months and hope my Chinese will become more fluent after that!
