Welcome to my China diary! Here I take you on an exciting journey, every day a little further into the Middle Kingdom. My goal? To learn something new about China every day and to share my experiences with you. Whether it's the rich culture, fascinating traditions, impressive landscapes or the Chinese language, every day there is a discovery that brings us closer to this extraordinary country.
Why a China Diary?
China has always fascinated me. The size of the country, its thousands of years of history, the exotic cuisine and, last but not least, the Chinese language, all of this is like a huge puzzle that I want to put together piece by piece. And I don't just want to learn myself, I also want to invite you to take this journey with me.
A blog, a diary and a learning project
The idea behind this blog is simple:
A theme every day. Perhaps a famous place, a traditional celebration or a fascinating personality from Chinese history.
Daily progress in the language. I'm learning Chinese myself and share what I discover here, from characters and pronunciation to short dialogues that we can practice together.
Practical insights. Tips, resources and stories from my everyday learning life.
What awaits you here?
A typical blog post might look like this:
Fact of the day: For example: What does the symbol of the dragon mean in Chinese culture?
A language learning moment: Today the word for "thank you" (谢谢, xièxie). Why is it pronounced that way and how can you use it?
A personal reflection: How do I feel on my journey? What do I find challenging and what gives me particular joy?
Let's learn together
I firmly believe that learning is most fun when you share it with others. Whether you are already a fan of China or just curious, I hope this blog inspires you to learn a little bit more about this fascinating country every day. So, let's go! Today I start my journey with a simple word: "你好" (nǐ hǎo) - Hello!
