鈥淏ecause I am part Chinese, language to me is important. And if I鈥檓 not able to speak a language that is part of me, part of my ethnicity, I don't feel complete. 鈥�鈥淚 really recommend that students take Chinese at 九色视频 because it is more intensive and I think they learn more in a class. 鈥�
鈥淚 think I am a bit more well-balanced and well-rounded now. Language is important to me and learning to speak the language is very satisfying.鈥�

鈥淢y major is education. And I want to specialize in teaching English, so I want to experience what it鈥檚 like to learn a second language. And I wanted to choose something that is difficult for me as an English speaker, so I chose Chinese to hopefully see how it is to help and improve me as an English teacher鈥�鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a really good program. I鈥檝e learned a lot, not just in language. It helps in general skills. For me, it helped me know how to teach and also interact with people who speak other languages than I do. I think it鈥檚 good for any person to grow that way.鈥�

鈥淲ichita State may be one of the few schools in the region that has the Mandarin courses like we do, and we have several levels, not just a beginning and then 'oh you鈥檙e done.' It definitely builds upon itself. And it鈥檚 a good way to meet other students both in the classroom, and outside of classroom, we have a large Chinese student population here. So you get that practice in that I don't necessarily think you can find in other universities.鈥�"It taught me a lot of self-discipline that I thought I need. It also showed me that I could do something that difficult and something a lot of people here can't do or won't do. It also helped a lot overseas when I did go to China.鈥�
鈥淔or students that wants to learn Chinese, do it! It is definitely one of those classes where everything you put into it is what you鈥檒l get out of it. If you want something that鈥檚 not your typical language to learn, and it鈥檚 going to be challenging and require a lot of focus from you and discipline, Chinese is definitely the way to go. Also, if you really like Chinese food, you can learn how to impress your friends with the menu and say, 鈥榯hat鈥檚 not how you say it.鈥欌��
