Last Thursday, I took the IUP entry-exit test and got my results back today. Unbelievable how much I've improved! I feel such a sense of accomplishment - I went up over 35 points on a 220-point test, with the most improvement in vocab, which is exactly what I wanted to work on this summer.
Also, I'm becoming much more conscious of my s/sh, c/ch, z/zh problem, often correcting myself before my teachers even have time to mention it. And the sh/ch/zh sounds don't sound nearly as forced as they used to.
I'm seriously contemplating coming back to IUP in the future, whether it's for a summer or for an academic year. If my Chinese can continue to improve at this rate, it's definitely worth it. Plus I'll be able to take electives and self-designed courses!
