I have been here for two classes. I think every time the teacher gives me new words/vocabulary. At first, I can remember, but I will forget later. I can remember some new words.

But I think maybe I am older so I think I don’t learn/remember as fast as young people. He lives in Kuala Lumpur. Before that, he stayed in SH. He went to Kuala Lumpur for work. Every day I video call him to talk about class/I talk about class with him on video. 

She went to America since/from when she was young. She has lived there for a long time so sometimes she forgets some Chinese words.
