For mandarin lesson, we start off with the pronunciation practice and then start to learn about numbers. We practice on how to say numbers up to 1 billion with different number combination. I have hard time to remember the vocabulary such as: one hundred, one thousand and one million. It's also hard because in Indonesia, we count zeros by separating 3 zeros (ex: 9 000 000 000) but in Mandarin, we separate the zeros by 5 zeros (ex: 9 00000 0000). It's hard to think it that way and so, the teacher gave us a tips. She said that it's easier to count 5 numbers from the back and then start to say it. I have improvement on my pronunciation and the teacher said that I have neat hand writing.I gain perseverance in doing this lesson and also recognizing my weaknesses and strengths.
