become fluent in chinese

I’m very excited about My Chinese Coach for Nintendo DS Lite but am not down with paying $30 for it.

Improvement is a hard thing to measure. Certainly I have learned many new words and can carry on conversations, but I am a long way from being fluent. :-( A long, long way. sigh

I learned a bunch of them and can now look things up in my handy dictionary. A start, eh?

I signed up for Chinese for next semester. I signed up last fall for Chinese, but they put me in this accelerated “heritage” course that was too fast and intimidating so I dropped out.

This regular Chinese class should be easier, though slower. I hope I will commit to it. I guess we’ll see in a couple months when it begins.
