Rachel Edwards
Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia, Chinese Language Study Abroad
Introduction
Heya! I’m Rachel! I am thoroughly looking forward to this study-abroad trip to Taiwan! I am studying a BSc/BA majoring in Chinese, Environmental Science and Geography.
Chinese has occupied my studies since high school, and I don’t want to stop until I’m fluent! I’ve fallen in love with the food, culture, and people along this study journey, so I can’t wait for the same to happen on a proper journey abroad, too. I’ve not been here for a full 24 hours yet, but I feel like my Chinese is already improving.
My profile picture is of my fantastic language partner and me! After this first day, I’m sure we will become great friends 🙂
