    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&apos;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&apos;m retired and traveling the world. I&apos;m learning Chinese so I can communicate with locals and make friends. But I gotta tell you, it ain&apos;t easy. You are truly amazing 👏

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