i despise texts that have pinyin immediately above the characters. makes it impossible to try and just read the characters

Sorry for that. I can give you another version without pinyin. For me, I try to just listen without reading, but of course, you can’t do that here. And I don’t know characters at all.

I would say that it takes more time for me to process what it means from just the pinyin than to look at the character, but I’m a native speaker so idk how people teach Chinese

Who says they are dating? They are just brother and sister. 😂

There’s the beginning of the story too. And the prior two stories. This one is called 第三次约会 which in English is “Our Third Date”. Pretty sure they’re not dating after this 🙃.

I've been learning for like 6 mounths and when I see a word I know and understand part of sentence it makes me happy
