Last friday was mexico Chinese Bridge pre-competition, it consisted of 3 parts; a 3min speech, then I did a monologue and the last part was open questions about chinese language.

I was surprised to see that most of the participants had very high level (some of them also had been studying in China for quite a while) but at the end I got the highest score and me (along with my teacher) will be going to China in july to represent Mexico in the semifinals in Changsha.

Hopefully I will do a good role in Changsha in order to go to the finals in Beijing and receive an scholarship for my masters.

So I have to say thanks to the creators of this software, that has allowed me to acquire a decent vocabulary in a short period of time.

湖安馬林,

恭喜、恭喜! Congrats on your victory and having the opportunity to head to China. It sounds like it will be an amazing experience. While we're more than happy to take credit for it all (totally kidding!) it sounds like your hard work and motivation was the real factor in your language progress. Keep it up!

We can't wait to hear about your trip to China. Be sure to share your experience on the forums and kick some serious 屁股 while you're there.

Best,
Jake

Haha, I'll be sure to kick some 屁股, I'll keep you guys informed. Yesterday I finished my last final exam so now I'll have around a month and a half to improve my chinese for the competition.
