Do Not Be Afraid of Making Mistakes When Learning Chinese
Generally, anyone Mandarin(普通话pǔtōnghuà) learners know that making blunders(错误cuòwù) can be a common thing with regards to studying this language. As a matter of fact, if you are not making errors – be they grammatical, tonal(声调的shēngdiào de), or – every single time you open your mouth to speak, you're either not attempting very hard or you knew Chinese in a preceding life! As somebody who spent years studying Chinese the 'incorrect' way just before lastly figuring out a greater, more efficient method to study the language, I'd argue that making errors isn't just a good thing, but that it is only by making blunders that a foreign student can ever start to work towards accurate(精确的jīngquè de) conversational fluency.However,do not be afraid of making mistakes when learing Chinese.

Richness of Taohua Island
The Taohua Island (Peach Blossom Island)… This name sounds like a dream full of expectations. Being the second place I visited in China, this is important for me to present it to you as I was literally speachless in front of its beauty(beauty is the state or quality of being beautiful). The "Peach Blossom Island", Tao Hua Dao(桃花岛Táohuādǎo) in Mandarin Chinese, is part of the Zhoushan (舟山) archipelago located in northeastern Zhejiang Province. The island south of the biggest Zhoushan island one (Dinghai Island), just represents 42 squeare kilometers but is a marvel of botanical diversity, lush sceneries of natural rich flora and fauna.
Chinese travel
Now, I learned Chinese in Beijing City, that means I learned my Chinese(汉语hànyǔ) with all the R’s, my first time hearing Chinese was in Beijing(北京Běijīng) and I kinda thought it sounded like a bunch of dogs barking. Ruf ruf ruf ruf ruf. But hey that’s how I started Chinese, so in 2009 when I came to Yangshuo to start teaching, and to learn Chinese, I wasn’t even remotely used to their Chinese. None of the R’s I fell in love with, or for that matter really good Mandarin. At that time hearing the difference between Northern Mandarin and Southern Mandarin was like hearing a true New Yorker speaking his form of English, and hearing someone from the deep deep South in a swamp in the middle of nowhere’s English.
