In the four months since I last posted articles on my blog，I’ve been spending a lot of time studying Chine.I wanted to pass the HSK.From the beginning of my program，the HSK was the end goal of my Chine learning this year.Luckily，I pasd it and now I have one and a half months to go home and stay with my family.
It’s really exciting to learn Chine in an environment where I can study very fast.What’s more，I can e my own progress in different ways.When I got here eight and a half months ago，I only knew a few of the 150 words tested in the HSK 1.However,until now,I’ve taken and pasd the 2500word HSK 5.

I remember a time around January.I thought my Chine had reached the point where I was comfortable in my daytoday conversations.So my progress would slow down greatly.However，it turned out that I was totally wrong.The conversations I can have now far surpass(超过) the ones I was having in January.
Today I hit a languagelearning landmark(里程碑) that was particularly exciting for me：I finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in Chine.It might not em that exciting，but it was for me becau it’s the first full book I’ve read in Chine.And it’s the third language I’ve read Harry Potter in.I’m especially proud becau I spent about ven months reading the first 35 pages,but in the last month and a half,I managed to read about 150 pages.My next challenge is to read a novel written by a Chine author，rather than one that I’ve already read many times in English!
Hopefully，I’ll be able to keep up my languagelearning progress over the next month and a half，becau I know I’ll probably never have another opportunity to learn a language like this.
