There's a way.

They are Chinese who have superb gifts as singer-songwriters, but oddly few people know of them. I asked two Chinese women before, but none of them were familiar with them.
When I just started to study Chinese, I was looking for some movies or music that piqued my curiosity about the language. One day, I found them in a Chinese textbook, and since then I've been into their songs. I've trying gathering their information especially about their new albums, but all my effort seem to be in vain. Why haven't I found them even on the Net? If they have kept singing, I might have gotten some news about them.
Is there anybody who knows about them? I admit that I'm a huge fan of "1983组合."

I've been trying to gathe their information about them,



You can listen to one of their songs called "不夜" here.

I visited a Chinese teacher today and had one-on-one lesson for an hour. I didn't know much about Chinese yet, so I needed to take some time to understand what she was saying even if she used fundamental expressions. What made me confused a lot was Chinese pronunciations! I wondered how long I would take until I could speak Chinese without making any problems...

I visited a Chinese woman's place yesterday to get the details of her Chinese lessons, and today I spent an hour with another Chinese woman at a cafe named "anni panni." While being with them, I had no trouble in communicating each other because both of them spoke Japanese quite fluently. I tried not to use Japanese, but it was futile attempt.
I'm thinking about taking Chinese one-on-one lesson. I can learn it by myself, of course, but when it comes to Chinese, it seems to be very difficult for me to have motivation because Chinese hasn't been so much in my life yet. I'm interested in having a native friend. I guess that will be a good start.

It's very difficult for me to become motivated because Chinese has yet to become a major part of my life.

Actually, I didn't have interests in Chinese films until I realized my enthusiasm for their language, Chinese. I fall in love with Chinese now. It sounds like music to my ears. I always need films when I learn foreign languages. I can speak English a little, because I've learned a lot of expressions from Hollywood movies. Learning is more fun with films, don't you think? That's why I went to a video shop yesterday and rented one. The film "Promise" was produced by a Chinese director, Chen Kaige. He picked some foreign actors in his film: Jang Dong-Gun from Korea and Hiroyuki Sanada from Japan. I was moved by its fantastic creativity. I was also amazed to hear Hiroyuki Sanada speaking Chinese. I thought he could speak only English outside Japan. How has he learned? How does his Chinese sound to native speakers? Hiroyuki Sanada, he was quite wonderful.
