"Good news nobody" (Yes, I am quoting Futurama...) I'm nearly finished teaching you the first unit of Getting to Know You. Sorta. Depends on if I teach you the rest of it or not...

I did! Look at the teaching thread! I taught lots! And I haven't seen ANYONE practise a word of it, so I'm not going any further till someone has a really boring basic convo of stuff like "Hi i'm Bob. Thank you. Goodbye"

Hey everyone
I'm Kat
How are you all? (I made that bit up)
I'm quite good.

There's nothing to say I'm not feeling that great or I'm alright or anything.

See I told you I was secretly trying Cat! Admittedly I had to write it on a piece of paper before doing it here but it's a start!

I can see a lot of pointing happening in this thread...

Very good, Kat

Ni men hao.
Wo jiao Chris.

Hello everyone
My name is Chris

Yay! Well done Kat! You made it up and you were right!! Woot!!

Ahem.

Anyways, I'll go tell you how to say I'm not good. Pretty much all I know how to say is I'm good or I'm not good.

I'm also about to teach how to ask for ages and stuff...
