I did unit 23 in my workbook. This provided a good review of location words, and explaining where things are located, as well as the “doing something while doing something else” sentence.

I had a Chinese lesson in the evening. My teacher and I went over some grammar and conversation exercises from one of the books she brought me from Shanghai. I hadn’t practiced conversation for a while so this was much needed. She said that I don’t sound like I’m from Beijing, but like I’m from central China! At least she didn’t say I sounded like I was from the UK!
