I'm a native speaker, not so much a native writer/reader since I only had the capacity to read the first sentence, but!! Good on you! And good luck!

你的中文很好。

For me at least uwu

@Renoki 谢谢!
@PopteenPrincess
I found learning to speak Japanese was much easier than Chinese as it has easier sounds - there's only really the elongated vowels rather than the four different tones which can get really confusing for english speakers because that's not how our brain works.

@Popteenprincess hopefully I can get into the right mindset then! The way you describe Kanji does make it sound really beautifully : )

@Ashenhartkrie I find the idea of the four tonal shifts in Chinese intimidating which is the ultimate deterrent for me. Plus the writing system. Granted Japanese does have some tone shift stuff as well, just not as much as Chinese languages.

Sentence order: Subject + time + adverb + place + verb + object. 我是美国人,也不说得很好。这是我第二年学中文,第三年学阿拉伯语,第一年学日文。 I'm only in 201 level, but I'm pretty good at it, and you can ask me questions or chat with me if you'd like (though I'll tell you if I don't know something, lol).

我在大学学中文学了两年,但是一年没学中文了,所以现在我的中文不好。我应该练习!

Wow, that was tough :-)
(I studied chinese for two years at my university, but I haven't studied it for a year. So now my Chinese is not great. I should practice!)

你用什么书学中文?

(What book do you use to study chinese?)
