North America was easy – I was born there. Now I can add Asia to the list as I sit in my Chinese apartment :)



Learn "enough" Mandarin to get around in China (read all 2 entries…)
Already in China, but still so much to learn. 2 weeks ago

Rosetta Stone has unfortunately not been a whole lot of help. The program is designed to learn the whole language, not to be practical. For example, I know how to say “the boy is eating an apple”, or “the girls have bicycles”, but I dont know how to say “where’s the bathroom”. Luckily, my boyfriend’s brother comes here all the time and knows a little. He’s here for our first couple of weeks, so it’s working out well. His girlfriend lives in China so she helps us order food and such. Here’s to hoping we can manage after he goes back home!
