I’ve had this situation about a year ago at our university. With my class fellows, we were able to take a Chinese class. The industry have arranged it. So we are able to take it. The first day of the class for us was a memorable day because because the Vendee’s teachers start teaching people all looking at him without knowing anything because he will not understand and keep doing it. He said that we will take time and practice so you have to first take note and listen to it. We started doing that when he speak Chinese we were all laughing at him but with time we practice he encourages to practice it so we did end the practice practice but with time we take interest in the class because we were understanding something it was compared to the beginning so it was a very good experience in that time we were were able to communicate all smoothly and it was funny that at first we were when I was sitting in that class starting I was thinking that I will get I will find the subject about the time I’m patient. I practice it and in the end I can somehow make my retort.

Learning a new language is very difficult because it is not our mother tongue, and we don't understand it at the beginning. So, it takes time, patience, and progress. I had this experience about a year ago at our university. With my classmates, we were able to take a Chinese class that the university had arranged. The first day of the class was a memorable day for us because the teacher started teaching, and we were all looking at him without knowing anything. We could not understand, but he kept going. He said that we would need time and practice, so we had to take notes and listen carefully. We started doing that, and when he spoke Chinese, we all laughed at him. But with time, we practiced, and he encouraged us to keep practicing. Eventually, we took an interest in the class because we began to understand something compared to the beginning. It was a very good experience. By that time, we were able to communicate smoothly, and it was funny that at first, when I was sitting in that class, I thought I would struggle with the subject. However, I was patient, practiced, and in the end, I could somehow make my responses.
