Just tonight's studying. That is the dialogue I have to know for tomorrow.

huh.   Interesting.

I think I pwnd the test. May have gotten a couple tone markings incorrect on the pinyin, but for the most part I feel good about it.

For Monday:

 

1 - 王 先生， 你 是 老师 吗？

 

2 - 我` 不 是 老师， 我是学生。 李友， 你呢？

 

3 - 我也是学生。 你是中国人吗？

 

4 - 是，我是北京人。 你是美国人吗？

 

5 - 是， 我是纽约人。

 

 

And then, outside the dialogue (for the sake of localization):

 

我是加拿大人。

 

谢谢你，

贝觉世

Taking Chinese for fun or profit?

Yes.

Pwnd Friday's test. Got two tone markings wrong on pinyin words (ming2zi, shen2me) , half mark off for each, but I got the bonus question, so scored 10/10. Apparently one of the best - if not the best - in the class. Which makes me warm and fuzzy inside, because a good half of the students come from Chinese non-Mandarin backgrounds. I feel like they have a small leg up on me. :|

Definitely pwnd today's test. I'm about 99.5% sure that I scored perfectly.

very nice! though it may be that since you are coming into it with no background you can't mix things up.

That could have something to do with it. They also might be kind of complacent as well.

Anyway, we all took a placement test at the start of the semester, so in theory we're all within a couple months of each other in terms of starting points.
