but now I find that I can read signs, menus, and even some easy
newspaper articles.
A: What are you most keen on

particular Chinese calligraphy. As I have learnt Chinese characters, I have
developed a great appreciation for their meaning. I want to explore
Chinese characters by learning how to write them in a more beautiful way.

rewarding and you will be happy that you tried.
