Chinese speaking challenge, April 2024

recorded, spoke with wife, good fun.

I’m a good listener;-)

1 hour talking with a student, listening and repeating videos

Reading aloud and anki

One hour of singing along to Jay Chou songs. I pay close attention to the grammar structure - I have to pick the slower ones.

Going through Anki cards and sentences and recording. So fun and learning so much!

I'm trying to speak faster and sound more natural, so I'm shadowing multiple videos with native conversations,

2 hours of Seven Minute Chinese on my commute today. This was all speaking because I was driving and could not read the characters. Short session of Roots In China.

Reading Teatime Chinese podcast aloud and practicing Anki sentences

instructing my students in the past 3 days.

Personal audio journal. Random class speaking.

I'm studying new vocabulary, so I was using the new words to make conversations.

This 60 minutes is over the weekend, mostly speaking with friends.

7 Minute Chinese/Roots in China live class x 2; prepare pinyin for Karaoke Jay Chou songs: Feng, Step Aside, Black Sweater

Same old but now I'm back in school.

Language exchange and Anki review

Snippets of conversations over the last few days. Not trying hard either, as I'm engrossed in studying another language of late.

prepare karaoke for 3 Jay Chou songs: Silence, Far Away & All The Way North; 2 sessions with language partner (15 min x 2); 45 minutes of 7 Minute Chinese. This is over several days. I've been busy...

Didn't get a ton done today but I got a bit.

talking with a random Chinese about my country

Chinese phone call with a friend

I haven't added the progress daily, but I have been forcing my practice with my students in class.
