Hello! My name is Chase. My Chinese teacher calls me xiǎo zhuī (which literally translates to small chase). I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. In college I studied a little Chinese, but I forgot most of it. I started studying Chinese again in March of this year because I go to Taiwan frequently for work. In fact, I am going to Taiwan again in December 2018.
Additionally, I really like music. I play eight instruments, but my favorite is guitar. My beautiful wife also likes music. She plays violin and bass guitar. My other love in life is tattoos. I have two full sleeves, a back piece, chest/stomach piece, and a few other randoms. Next time I go to Taipei, I am getting a new tattoo. If any or all of the ChinesePod teachers would like to grab a beer and/or join me for a tattoo, I’ll be in Taipei on Saturday December 8th, 2018. Its nice to be a part of the group!
My Chinese version is a bit more simple.
你好!我是Chase. 我的中文老師叫我小追。我住在阿爾伯克基新墨西哥美國。我在大學時候我學習了一點中文,但是我忘記了。今年三月我再次開始學習,因為我經常去台灣出差。我今年十二月去台灣。
我真的喜歡音樂。我彈八個樂器但是我最喜歡的樂器是吉他。我老婆也喜歡音樂。她拉小提琴。我也喜歡紋身。我有很多紋身。下次我去台北,我會得到新紋身。
