Hi Troy,
你的中文说的真好，希望多跟我们分享一些你学中文的经验，还有HSK 考试经验给我们，非常感激。
Hi Troy,
Good to see you’ve learned Chinese for a few years. I’m sure it wasn’t that easy at the beginning, which was what I found when I started to learn the Chinese characters, sentences and tones. But I also believe we will eventually overcome this kind of difficulties in the journey and achieve what we want.
Welcome to the big family to learn Chinese! 
Thanks Jeremy. I wrote that a year ago and I like that I can recognize my lack of experience writing in Chinese. I’m still far from fluent but, but I keep chipping away at it. 每天学一点，每天好一点。
Hi Troy,
Feel free to post something here in Chinese. We can help you to correct. Let’s learn together!
