Picking up the pieces.
17 months ago
I figured I’d give learning Mandarin another shot. I took about two years of it in high school (mainly because I HAD to take a language class) and didn’t retain much, but a whole year of it in college really helped me build some fundamentals that I’ve managed to keep after two years. Being a fan of Chinese cinema doesn’t hurt either.
I decided to start seriously putting more effort into learning the language by enrolling in a course at my local city college this fall, and by also picking up Rosetta Stone, which seems extremely helpful in learning vocabulary.
Here’s hoping this time I’ll actually stick with it.
