Imagine you're interviewing a student at a Confucius Institute in another country about his or her experience. Work with a partner to brainstorm what the interviewer might ask and how the student might answer. Then role-play the interview. Use the phrases and questions in the box to help you.
A: Hi, Jane. Welcome to the show!
B: Thanks for inviting me.
A: Tell us, what was your biggest challenge in learning Chinese at the beginning?
B: Well, I suppose it was difficult to grasp the tones at first.
A: I bet! Did joining the Confucius Institute help overcome this problem?
B: Absolutely! Getting involved with Chinese cultural activities there definitely helped a lot. I got to practice my Chinese on a daily basis, and I could learn how native Chinese speakers spoke.
A: What do you feel is your biggest achievement?
B: Learning Chinese characters! I have learnt about 1,500 so far. When I first started, I didn't think it was even going to be possible to learn so many, but now I find that I can read signs, menus, and even some easy newspaper articles.
