我很忙... 自从我再工作，晚上我累。因为常我学会汉语，所以我没有时给Italki。我看中国电影。我也训练写汉语。 I hope that I didn't make too many mistakes. ;) This entry is intended as an explanation why I wasn't on Italki for a few days. I found that I spent too much time reading on Italki and neglected learning Mandarin.

Chat system on Italki I've noticed that I didn't receive chat messages in the previous week... (they just showed up on my pc at home today, not at school) I'm sorry for not answering =/ 对不起! I'll try to find a solution on Monday, when I'm back at school.

Firday, 21.01.2011 我现在会书写汉子。 =) Colonel showed me how to configure the keyboard layout on the Mac that I'm working with. I felt a bit stupid having to tell everyone that I can't write Chinese at the moment. Now the Problem is solved =)

Italki 是太好了! Just one sentence, no big deal. But I just wanted to say that. =) 再见

First notebook entry: Introducing myself 你好. 我叫 Jacky. 我住在奥地利. 我开了学会中文二零一零年十一月. 我用 Anki 和 FSI 语言班. 它们是很有用的. 喜欢念, 唱, 画, 我的狗. Anki - http://www.ankisrs.net/ FSI - http://www.fsi-language-courses.org/ ---- So much for the Mandarin part =) It takes me quite long to write such a short introduction... For anyone not speaking Chinese: My name's Jacky, and I live in Austria. Although I'm writing English now, my mothertongue is German. I think that writing in English here will give me some additional practise. I've been learning Chinese for roughly two and a half months now, so I'm not speaking very well yet. For vocab I use Anki and the FSI Language Course for all the rest. (see the links above) Besides learning Mandarin I like to read, sing, paint and much, much more. I have a little dog who keeps distracting me x) I work as a webdesigner, but I'm still an apprentice for about 5 more months. I'd like to be a concept artist sometime, but right now my drawings aren't up to that yet. Who knows if I'll ever make it? Enough said, see you =)
