Testimonial for eChineseLearning.com

My teacher has asked me to film a video testimonial for eChineseLearning.com!  Not sure if it's because my Chinese has progressed so rapidly, or because I'm so good looking :-)

Here is my script.  Now I just need to practice and then film my video!

大家好！我叫 Ian. 中文名字是“一安”。一二三的一，西安的安。我是加拿大人，我住在维多利亚，是一个很漂亮的城市。

我学了汉语差不多两年了。以前我打算去中国旅行，想去很多中国有名的地方。我想体验 (ti3 yan4) 中国文化，吃中国菜，看有意思的地方，跟中国人用汉语聊天儿。

以前我自己试着学习汉语，但是没成功 (cheng2 gong1)。听说 eChineseLearning 是很好的中文学校，所以我马上就注册 (zhu4 ce4) 了！

What I like about eChineseLearning is …  The schedule is completely flexible.  I take 3 classes a week, and I can take classes whenever it fits into my schedule.  Since it’s online I can take the classes anywhere.  (I travel a lot for work so this lets me easily fit my classes around my work schedule.)  I have an assigned teacher, but if she is not available, then eChineseLearning assigns me a substitute, which gives me a chance to practice listening to a difference accent, different vocabulary, teaching style, etc.  Learning from teachers in China also gives me the opportunity to learn about Chinese culture and life in China, which was very useful for my trip!  Every class I have very interesting discussions with my teacher.

去年我去了中国三个月。我认识了很多新的中国朋友，他们告诉我,我的汉语还不错， 我说哪里哪里。在西安的时候我见到了我的非常好的 eChineseLearning  老师。回加拿大的时候，我决定继续 (ji4 xu4) 学汉语，因为汉语有意思，也很好玩儿。

If you are interested in learning Chinese I encourage you to try eChineseLearning!  I’ve learned a lot (and I’m not even very good with languages) and also greatly enjoyed my experience.

Thank you. 谢谢 and 希望在中国见面！
