Its not going too badly really. We broke for summer, so only just started again last week with a new teacher (my old teacher moved to london).

Its quite interesting really, im enjoying it. I think its slow progress, but thats also partly due to the amount of work I do outside the class. Very interesting though.

I would recommend doing it if you find it of interest. I'd like to learn russian too once I have sufficiently mastered mandarin. If you can speak chinese, russian and english, I feel that (in terms of pure numbers) you can speak to a good majority of the people in the world.

 

its not really that difficult to say things. The important thing is that its tonal, so how you say it is sometimes just as important as what.

I'm sure you would be fine with it.

 

I recently discovered that I *can* remember my Mandarin, if required to in a crucial situation.

Oh, hey, I'm back... as if you haven't figured that out already
