Things I want to share. Mainly via my iPhone.
Hello, my name is Roger Gordon. This is my website. I'll put things I make with my iPhone here.
I'm from South Africa, and I teach English in Taichung City, Taiwan in order to study Chinese at a nearby University. I hope this website will help me to remember experiences and practice my Chinese.
您好，我的名字是高延清。這裡是我的網站。這裡要放用iPhone自己作的東西。我從南非來，在台灣的台中巿教英文並在附近的一間大學學中文。我希望藉由這個網站，能幫我紀錄所有的經驗，並且練習中文。

Today my best friend wants to say goodbye, so we went to an amusement park. I had a lot of fun there, but I'm not too happy because my good friend will go to Singapore next month.

1 Month to Go!
Today is the first day of June. In exactly one month, I'll start formal Chinese classes at Dong Hai University, here in Taichung's Western District. In theory, my speaking and listening vocabulary is up to 900 or so Chinese words. However, my reading and writing is probably sitting at 50 or so. So, my big project now is to try to learn to read and write about 850 Chinese characters in one month. It's pretty much impossible, but even my most dismal attempt will at least be another step on the road towards practical fluency. Wish me luck!
