Ive been studying chinese since the first grade, and this upcoming school year will be my eleventh year studying the language. I remember being taught tones in elementary school but I never actually paid attention, because I thought I could speak chinese in a monotone voice and automatically people would understand.

I recently just came back from Taiwan and I noticed a big struggle for me when conversing with native speakers is how much I mess up the tones. This caused me to have lots of trouble when speaking to people and I often had to repeat myself multiple times until they understood what I was actually meaning to say. Usually I have my teacher there to correct me but I was completely on my own with this one.

Since i’ve gotten back, i’ve been trying to practice my tones by doing tongue twisters, watching youtube videos, and listening practices to try and pick apart the tones I hear. i’m preparing for future trip to mainland China, and I don’t want to have the same speaking experience I did in Taiwan, is there anything else I can do to solve this issue that could’ve been avoided years ago!!

Im a sophomore in highschool who went to a IB international language school where I learned Chinese for 8 years, then carried it on into highschool.

Next year, my counselors will be applying pressure in looking for colleges, and going on tours,

but my problem is, I don’t actually know what I want to do with my language skill in college.

Everytime i’m asked by someone I just say language diplomacy, or translating, but i honestly don’t even know what language diplomacy means and Im not sure if I want to be a translator.

Traveling abroad does peak my interest, as I had the opportunity to travel to Taiwan this past March, and I had the best experience!

I guess I’m just feeling a little lost?? I want to keep studying Chinese, its history, conflicts, and such but I’m not sure what major I should choose with this in mind.

this might sound dumb, but I genuinely need help 😭
