Started Lessons Today 3 years ago

My boyfriend decided to trade Latin lessons for Chinese lessons. Today I learned how to say “hello,” “how are you,” “I am fine,” and “are you my mother?”. Also the five tones:
1. Straight across monotone.
2. Intone your voice upward.
3. Intone your voice like a swoop—down, then up.
4. Intone your voice downward.
5. No tone.
Wish me luck!
