TRANSLATION:
Hello. My name is Lin Mei Han. That's my Chinese name. English is Lindie. I am South African and I am a university student, I study Graphic design, but my hobby is foreign languages. So I also study Chinese ..for..one year? I don't now. But Chinese its very difficult,my pronunciation is really bad. But I have a lot of Chinese friends, so if they can't speak English (meaning those who can't), I want to (be able to) speak Chinese to them. I also am an English teacher, and my students are all Chinese. When I teach them English, they can also teach me Chinese. If I have money, I want to go to China to study Mandarin and Cantonese. Cantonese is really difficult! But it's my hobby, I really like studying. In South Africa there are lots of Chinese people. I have a dream and that is to (be able to) speak Chinese and make chinese friends..ah, I don't know.. I want to.. I don't know. For this video I didn't prepare (anything), I am just speaking (as I go along). Friends, please help me! Thanks, bye-bye!
^What I wanted to say up there but didn't have time to look in a dictionary or something, was that I want to be able to tell Chinese people more about my country and build better relationships with the nation. I also want to share the Good News with them and be a light for the world through using my languages to honor the Lord. But I don't know how to say that yet, haha!
你好！谢谢看了～Thanks for watching and I appreciate all help! 请帮助我学中文啊～～I didn't even look up a single word before making this video and have been out of practice for a while, but then this is an honest representation of my level of Mandarin at the moment. 不好得。。哈哈哈
