Dear Peter, I was received your letter and would like to anwser your question. You were asked me how to learn Chinese well. I will give my suggestions on four aspects. Firstly, it is better for you to find a Chinese learning course and join it. There will be a professional teacher who can povide you some good methods. Secondly, i suggest you to read more Chinese magzines and newspapers. Through this way, you can promote your ability on Chinese reading speed. Besides, you also could know more about culture of China. Thildly, you can learn some Chinese songs. At last, making more Chinese friends is helpful for your Chinese learning. I hope all this suggestions above is helpful to you. Best wishes, Hua Li 这么快
