My Chinese Dialogue As Promised

So, I didn't find time to do my "homework" until yesterday. I got out my textbook, a sharp pencil (for writing the Chinese signs) and my exercise book with extra large squares (the ones German children use in their first year of school).

First, I read through the pronunciation guide again, just to make sure. Then I moved on to the first chapter. I read the text, and the grammar, and skimmed through the grammar pages of the next two chapters as well. After that, I felt confident enough to start my task: write a short Chinese dialogue.

你好。我叫Theresa。你叫什么名字？
（Hi. My name is Theresa. What is your name?)
——你好。我叫Dana。你好吗？
（Hi。 My name is Dana. How are you?)
我很好。你是哪国人？我是德国人。
（I am fine. Where are you from? I am German.)
——我是美国人。你今年多少岁？
(I am American. How old are you?)
我二十四岁。我学中语。
（Ｉ　ａｍ　２４　ｙｅａｒｓ　ｏｌｄ．I learn Chinese.)
——我也学中语。
(I learn Chinese too.)
再见！
（Goodbye.)
——再见！
（Goodbye.)

Whoa, while writing this into my blogger interface, I learnt that I can switch between Chinese signs and normal letters, and even have a dictionary in my task bar to look up signs! Awesome!

And while I read the text in my textbook, I realised that I remembered quite a lot. I didn't need to look up a single word/sign in order to understand the text.

For next Monday, I will come up with a short text about myself in Chinese. Just need to keep going now that I restarted learning it.
