Xilin Field Trip Reflection (11/2017)

(Addie) 我很喜欢! It was fun and it opened my mind. Seeing so many Chinese people made me realize that our community is so diverse and sometime we do not notice our surroundings.

Communicating was a little hard because she speaks really fast and she was using words that I don't know yet but the things I asked she understood me, and when I did not know how to pronounce she will help me and give me tips to make the sounds, and the right tone. Over the D-term I plan to watch more Chinese movies and try to challenge myself without the subtitles.

The most enjoyable part of the trip was just how welcoming everyone was, howe excited seemed. I will suggest that we need more time to ask questions since I did not finish asking her all the questions but over all the experience was great.

(何箫) I really enjoyed Xilin because it gave me experience with talking to native speakers. They were all very open and friendly. I learned how to say "sing" which is "唱歌". I enjoyed the morning exercise routine because it woke me up and relaxed me before my conversation!
