Directions

Today in Chinese we reviewed for the written exam which is on Wednesday. It was all pretty boring at first but then she had us get into pairs and give directions to someplace on a map in Chinese. We all kind of took turns making fun of everyone's maps 9we had to draw it on the board) and directions. I thought that was great because if you can't laugh about your mistakes they're going to eat you alive. Also, getting up and having to think on the spot how to tell someone to turn right was better than just hearing my teacher explain it. I'm really seeing how thinking on the spot benefits learning a language.
