Dear Roy,
I am glad to receive your letter ask for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a little suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn the teachers and practice with your classmates. Then, it also helped to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possibly.
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, so by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words much easily than usual. You can also make more Chinese friends. He will tell you a lot about China or you learn Chinese.
Try and write to me in Chinese the next time.
Best wishes.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
