Transcript:

哈喽，大家好，我是 Yuli。好久不见！
Hālou, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Yuli. Hǎojiǔ bú jiàn!
Hello everyone, I’m Yuli. Long time no see!

距离我上次发布视频，已经过去一年半了。我终于又有时间继续更新了。
Jùlí wǒ shàng cì fābù shìpín, yǐjīng guòqu yì nián bàn le. Wǒ zhōngyú yòu yǒu shíjiān jìxù gēngxīn le.
It has been a year and a half since I last posted a video. I finally have time to keep updating again.

这个视频里，我想重新介绍一下自己，聊聊我的工作和生活。
Zhège shìpín lǐ, wǒ xiǎng chóngxīn jièshào yíxià zìjǐ, liáoliao wǒ de gōngzuò hé shēnghuó.
In this video, I want to reintroduce myself and talk about my work and life.

更重要的是，我的语言学习经历。
Gèng zhòngyào de shì, wǒ de yǔyán xuéxí jīnglì.
More importantly, I want to talk about my language-learning journey.

我从小就很喜欢学英语，英语也是我学得最好的科目之一。
Wǒ cóngxiǎo jiù hěn xǐhuan xué Yīngyǔ, Yīngyǔ yě shì wǒ xué de zuì hǎo de kēmù zhī yī.
I have loved learning English since I was little, and English was also one of my best subjects.

高考结束后，我需要选专业，我毫不犹豫地选择了外语专业。
Gāokǎo jiéshù hòu, wǒ xūyào xuǎn zhuānyè, wǒ háo bù yóuyù de xuǎnzé le wàiyǔ zhuānyè.
After the college entrance exam, I had to choose a major, and I chose a foreign-language major without hesitation.

其实，法语才是我的第一志愿，可惜我的分数不够高，最后我被日语专业录取了。
Qíshí, Fǎyǔ cái shì wǒ de dì yī zhìyuàn, kěxī wǒ de fēnshù bú gòu gāo, zuìhòu wǒ bèi Rìyǔ zhuānyè lùqǔ le.
Actually, French was my first choice, but unfortunately my score was not high enough, so in the end I was admitted to the Japanese major.
