My Chinese is getting better

我的中文越来越好
Wǒ de zhōngwén yuè lái yuè hǎo
My Chinese is getting better.
越来越 (yuè lái yuè ) means ‘more and more’ and is used to indicate that something is increasing or getting better. It is commonly used in the 越来越 + adjective formation. Let’s look at another example.

学中文得人越来越多
Xué zhōngwén de rén yuè lái yuè duō
More and more people are learning Chinese.

Below is another way of saying the same thing:
学中文的人渐渐多了
Xué zhōngwén de rén jiànjiàn duōle
More and more people are learning Chinese.
渐渐 (jiànjiàn) means gradually.

Now let’s say the first sentence using 渐渐 (jiànjiàn)
我的中文渐渐好了
Wǒ de zhōngwén jiànjiàn hǎole
My Chinese is getting better.
