            This week wasn’t that bad. When we began class Monday, I was a little nervous because I my Chinese was not at the level I wanted it to be at. However, during the rest of the class session most of the Chinese I had learned last year began to come back to me. On the second day of class I came in with a script in hand, it was a very rough draft, but during class I polished it up and came out feeling rather good about it! However, on Friday when we had to speak to the Chinese woman via Skype a wave of anxiety came over me and I began to panic. My hands were sweating and legs were shaking. I was extremely nervous to speak to the woman, because I thought my Chinese was really horrible.

This week was a review week in Chinese class. I unfortunately had to miss Mondays’ class due to a mandatory band tour. However missing Mondays’ class didn’t have a huge impact on me, like the previous time in which I missed class, due to the fact that it was a review week. This week really imprinted sentence structure into my memory.

    This week in Chinese went pretty well. I previewed the vocabulary so that really made a difference. I also attended Monday and Thursdays’ Chinese Corner. Going to Chinese Corner is really helping me a lot and I can already see the improvement in my Chinese. The tutors at Chinese Corner are great at making sure the students understand a sentence structure and why it’s that way.

Week two has started and I completely forgot to preview the lesson, due to it being Easter. Missing previewing completely messed me up for the entire week. I started to go Chinese corner because of it and it helped me a lot. Chinese corner this term is very organized and we actually accomplish a lot. If I don’t understand a sentence structure in class the tutors at Chinese corner are very eager to help one out. Going to Chinese corner also allows me to practice on my vocal responses to Chinese speakers, which is improving!
