Self introduction (Chinese)
About a month or so ago, we were asked to introduce ourselves in class in Chinese. Since I was the first one to volunteer for the task, I ended up introducing myself in a way a bit different than the teacher initially meant.
Here goes (lots of mistakes, I know, but it can demonstrate my Chinese abilities, however they may be. Since my reading abilities are crap, and I haven’t really learned how to write Chinese in Windows, then there might be some really funny mistakes here that weren’t there originally :P) :
我較 fiLi, 是二十七歲. 是 也 以四列 人.
我到台灣來再二零零五年一十一月.我有一個弟弟合兩個妹妹. 我的最小妹妹最愛.
我學了 MBA 做生意也工作多年. 因為我太難工作了也太多雪了,我不高興.
我朋友告訴我-如果我去看看外國我會高興. 所以, 我說了再見, 拿了幾些東西也去了.先, 我九月去看看 Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, 河 Singapore. 在-我來台灣雪中文.
我很喜歡台灣,大概因為台灣人很好.我有幾些台灣朋友.
現在, 我的錢不購, 我也真不知道我甚麼 作上.
是不容易也很麻煩.怎麼楊?

Hey not bad at all! Although you wrote some characters wrong. But really not bad at all! Congratulations!
You’re doing great!
Way to go! Being “outspoken” is the key to mastering a language! I admire your bravity.
好棒喔！敢說出口是學好語言的秘訣！我欣賞你的勇敢。
You don’t have enough money? Maybe you could teach Hebrew! I’d to learn it:)錢不夠喔？也許可以敎希伯來文啊！我就好想學:)
Thanks, that’s very sweet.
It seems like I’ll be back to Taiwan in the upcoming months. I’d be happy to help you with Hebrew
