O

nce upon a time, there was a girl who lived in a small town. She went to school and often dreamed. She constantly dreamed about being an interpreter, and one day, when she awoke, she found herself on the other side of the continent. It took many years for her to get that scholarship and study in China for a Master degree, and it definitely wasn't an easy road. She didn't want to forget the interpreter profession that she dreamed about, and she let herself choose one that would allow herself to avoid the fate of an unhappy person. She kept trying and kept on fighting until one day, she went to the University. And our story begins here… Hello guys, my name is Christina. I know 8 foreign languages and I'm currently studying for my Masters, in the North of China.

MY FIVE-STEP GUIDE TO LEARNING CHINESE By Christina Lee

During my first year of studying for my Bachelors, in Moscow, my major was Chinese language. At the time, I didn't know anything about that amazing language and always looked up all the words that I heard from native speakers and kept my language notebook on me. It helped me not feel lost in the heap of new words and colocations. Now I'm studying Japanese in Chinese language and I think that it's an absolutely incredible experience! I learned a lot from other cultures through foreign languages. It also helped me increase my chances of getting a good paying job and still have the opportunity to get other scholarships in different languages all over the world!
