Dear David,
I’m so glad to hear that you are going to Beijing to Learn Chinese. People say that Chinese is hard to learn, because the Chinese characters are complicated. But I think it’s a little exaggerated. It’s a great advantage for you to learn Chinese in China. You can practice it everywhere. Anyone could be your teachers. Besides, you can learn local knowledge in school. Your teachers would help you a lot. Finally, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. All things are difficult before they are easy. If you want to learn it well, 【英语翻译学习网(enfanyi.com)你的英语学习好帮手】you just keep learning no matter how hard it is. I am sure you will do well in your Chinese learning.
Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
