Intermediate Mandarin Learner

I've been focusing mostly on speaking and listening comprehension; hence, I have a very limited character set that I can read. Let's post some o' dem Mandarins.

你好，我是一个学汉语的外国人。我是加拿大人，有天想住在中国里教师英语。我两年前去中国，真喜欢了！

How's my Mandarin? Grammatically correct? Colloquial? Suggestions for improvement?

I'm studying to become a translator and I'd like to learn mandarin because it's exotic.When people say learn chinese they mean mandarin, correct?
