Now that we have Nicole to ourselves for an hour each week, Rob and I have decided to turn over a new leaf with respect to our learning of Mandarin. We are studying. Really studying, not randomly listening to cds in the car, hoping to gain something by osmosis. We have books, we have workbooks, we have cds and are actually doing lessons and testing our progress with the exercises. The kitchen table is our classroom, an iPod our lecturer.
Turns out I am good at pronunciation and terrible at tones. Rob is great at tones and terrible at pronunciation. Figures. No one will understand either one of us! Nicole insists that we will get better. I wonder.
By the way, I've decided to start leaving comments on. So if you'd like to comment on any posts from this point forward you can do so by clicking on the link at the bottom of the post. We hope to hear from you!
