Dear Sarah,
This is Li Ming. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I'm really interested in it. I want to improve my English, so we can help each other.
I'm quite confident that I can do it well. As a Chinese student, I have been learning Mandarin for many years and I speak it a lot in my daily life. If you want to learn Mandarin well, you should spend much time practicing it every day. We can also talk with each other to improve our oral speaking. Besides, you can read some books in Chinese or see some Chinese films. Speaking and listening are important for language learning.
Hope for your early reply!
