Steven Zhou is an exchange student here at Mt. Abe from China. He's extremely friendly and happy to speak Mandarin Chinese with anyone who asks. Since he's in a couple of my classes, I've had the chance to practice some of the Mandarin I've learned through Rosetta Stone. Most of the time our conversations are very short, because I am not very advanced in Mandarin and cannot carry conversations much longer than a few sentences of exchange, but every time we talk it helps me to improve my confidence in speaking Mandarin Chinese. I would really recommend to anyone who wants to practice Mandarin to speak to Steven. He's very friendly and he's more than happy to help you out with conversational speaking.

This website helped me learn how to write dialogue smoothly and flow-like like in a movie or in a real life conversation. It told me what to do and what not to do which was helpful. I learned that dialogue sets the character's mood towards another character in the story and that was something that I wanted to learn more on. I think I expanded my knowledge of writing dialogue by finding this website!

Like with any social network, be careful. Not everyone on there is a person just like you trying to learn a new language. But that aside, this website was really great for me to talk with people who knew Mandarin Chinese and were willing to help. Some people I just had quick conversations with that only lasted a few sentences, others I still talk to today. The person that knows Mandarin that I still talk to lives in China and is always happy to help me with the tones and to have conversations with me and teach me how to say things like a normal Chinese person would say them. This is a really great resource for person to person interaction. But again, be careful, as always.

Mr. Griswold was a teacher I had last year in Physics 2. He agreed to be interviewed for my project on creation. He was interesting to interview because he was raised in a strict Baptist home, but has since then become a Physicist and teacher and has studied neurology. He gave me a ton of information about the brain, and how the human intercepts data and reasons about the past. All of the most important aspects of his conversation are featured on my podcast.
