Actually, the newspaper class isn’t so bad. We started off really slow, doing just 2-3 paragraphs per lesson. The pace has picked up slightly but still manageable. And teacher doesn’t expect us to understand the newspaper articles in too much detail which is good. Since the textbook is quite old, the teacher prepares additional, more recent, related material for us. I quite like this teacher. She’s well prepared and knows what she’s doing.＾＾

The material for the Comprehensive Chinese class is actually quite difficult as well, but the pace is also quite slow, and Wang laoshi is a good teacher (our class’ one and only male teacher). I like him too. He uses flash cards and interesting examples to help us remember new vocab and how to use them.＾＾

Well, I'd better get started on homework. :P
