笨笨德 Posted November 16, 2005 at 09:58 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 at 09:58 AM Evening all, I just had one of those days, when I had problems correctly forming simple sentences, or fully comprehending simple requests; Im talking about stuff I already know well. I still find this rather disheartening, even after studying for a year now. I know its all just part of the learning process, and probably just a temporal attitude problem but tonight, I will probably sit pouring over my text books and annoying my friends with queries, trying to correct every mistake I made today... Anyway I just wondered what you guys do to keep up your enthusiasm when you have one of these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necroflux Posted November 16, 2005 at 11:59 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 at 11:59 AM I keep my enthusiasm level up by just looking for new materials to study from.. I've been at it for a year now myself and I know how you feel, it's tough. Sometimes I feel like I've learned a ton and sometimes I feel like I've learned nothing.. Usually the latter occurs when I try to read a Web site and still can't tell what the hell is going on. So I take a deep breath, find something of interest that I can learn from, and go at it. That and I remind myself of how much better my experience staying in Taiwan will be with more knowledge - every new character I learn is potential gained for new insight into that culture, and ultimately a better overall experience. I suppose that applies whether or not you plan on ever going to Asia (though I can't imagine why would one learn Chinese and never go).
