I think if can't write Hanzi, maybe you can't reading. It's my opinion.You can learn speaking and listening very fast, because you are in China now.I don't think writing Hanzi makes your Chinese learning slow down.If you want to learn writing Hanzi be free to contact me. My Chinese hand writing is good, and I'm really good at teaching.

I went for insects two days before with my native Kunming friend and new French friend. Actually, I'm afraid of them. But both of them ate the bugs, what can I do? Just eat!
I looked at them, and chose a small locust. Emm~ not bad but a little weird. Then I picked half a bamboo worm, I couldn't think what's in my mouth, but just chewed it quickly. I think it tasts nothing. But my Kunming friend likes it.
I've been teaching for about 2 years. If anyone need to learn Chinese or English, you can E-mail me. I charge much less than others, but I will be more patient and responsible. Once you know me, you will find I am a good teacher and a good friend too.
