Hello Crystal,

Regarding the amount of time studying Chinese every week.  Like I said, I spend 5-6 hours per week studying Chinese.  This is mostly to study from the text book "Masterworks Chinese Companion" by Qin-Hong Anderson.

My time using ChinesePod is considerably less. Perhaps 1-2 hours per week, including listening to the podcasts.

My goals are fairly straight forward.  I wish to be fluent and literate in Chinese.  Areas where I need improvement are vocabulary and listening comprehension.  I use ChinesePod and other podcasts for the listening part of my studies.

It was nice speaking with you today.  Talk to you next week.

One more thing... You can also add travel to my reasons for studying Chinese.

My next trip to China is next month.
