Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Hi, and welcome to the group. You appear to be progressing well. I haven't got so far with Chinese as to try writing/typing it. How do you produce Chinese characters? Do you type in pinyin and select from a list of possible characters if the software isn't sure, or is it more complex than that?

I use pinyin on the keyboard of my phone and select the appropriate character. It is a Chinese keyboard I use from the settings. So it pops up with what you most likely mean.
Google translates it a bit differently: Hello everyone! My name is Ashley. have you eaten? I have studied Chinese for six months.
