I started to learn Chinese from September. I know how to say ‘sorry, I don’t understand what you said’ in Chinese, that is very useful. I also know how to ask ‘how much’ in Chinese, that is very useful too. My friend and my teacher help me to learn Chinese. I listen to Chinese on the internet and I speak Chinese at home. Can you also give me some help?
