qù去nián年wǒ我kāi开shǐ始zài在xué学xiào校xué学xí习hàn汉yǔ语。

Last year I started studying Chinese at school.

wǒ我de的lǎo老shī师xìng姓wáng王,dà大jiā家dōu都jiào叫tā她wáng王lǎo老shī师。

My teacher's surname is Wang — everyone calls her Teacher Wang.

kāi开shǐ始de的shí时hou候,wǒ我jué觉de得hàn汉yǔ语de的zì字fēi非cháng常duō多,yě也fēi非cháng常bù不hǎo好xiě写。

At first I thought Chinese had a huge number of characters, and they were really hard to write.

wǒ我xiě写le了hěn很duō多cì次,dàn但shì是hái还huì会xiě写cuò错。

I'd write them over and over and still get them wrong.

wǒ我de的hàn汉yǔ语lǎo老shī师fēi非cháng常hǎo好,tā她měi每cì次dōu都bāng帮zhù助wǒ我。

My Chinese teacher is great — she helps me every single time.

dàn但shì是wǒ我fēi非cháng常xǐ喜huan欢dú读hàn汉yǔ语de的shū书。

But I really enjoy reading books in Chinese.

měi每gè个xīng星qī期wǒ我dōu都yào要qù去jiào教shì室xué学xí习。

I go to the classroom to study every week.

tóng同xué学lǐ里yǒu有yí一gè个jiào叫lǐ李yuè月。

One of my classmates is called Li Yue.

tā她xué学xí习hàn汉yǔ语fēi非cháng常kuài快,wǒ我bǐ比tā她màn慢duō多le了。

She learns Chinese really fast — I'm much slower than she is.

yǒu有yī一cì次,wǒ我men们yì一qǐ起zhǔn准bèi备kǎo考shì试。

Once we studied for an exam together.

nà那cì次kǎo考shì试wǒ我yǒu有hěn很duō多tí题xiě写cuò错le了,fēi非cháng常bù不gāo高xìng兴。

I got a lot of questions wrong on that exam and felt terrible.

lǐ李yuè月bāng帮zhù助wǒ我,gào告sù诉wǒ我zěn怎me么xué学xí习hàn汉yǔ语。

Li Yue helped me and told me how to study Chinese.

xiàn现zài在wǒ我de的hàn汉yǔ语bǐ比qù去nián年hǎo好duō多le了。

My Chinese is much better now than it was last year.

wǒ我hái还yào要xué学xí习hàn汉yǔ语,yīn因wèi为wǒ我xiǎng想qù去zhōng中guó国gōng工zuò作。

I'm going to keep studying Chinese, because I want to work in China.
