In China, I knew several students from Africa and Central Asia that passed HSK5 within a year. As they had a scholarship, they needed to get a score of 210 instead of 180. Most of these students come from extremely impovershed areas and are super eager to learn; they dedicate nearly all hours of their day toward studying it. Not to mention they spoke 2-3 languages fluently already...

As a Chinese speaker, I was shocked by hearing how you speak in the first place as it's surprisingly fluent after just studied it for 18-months!

When I was your age, I thought learning Chinese would be good for networking. Now that I'm retired and traveling the world. I'm learning Chinese so I can communicate with locals and make friends. But I gotta tell you, it ain't easy. You are truly amazing 👏

I like your Chinese name. It's great in many ways, not just because it sounds like your English name. I can tell it's carefully chosen, and it's full of wisdom and it's not cringy at all. It's actually kinda common, gives vibes of a gentleman, generous and devoting. It's just beautiful
