*drum roll*
Guess who’s going to begin Mandarin lessons?
Crap, I’m nervous about it. I hope I can get the tones right. I don’t want to end up frustrated with it, and give up on all the Chinese music I own.
Honestly, Mandarin is the most difficult — sound-wise — language to me. But then again, I know nothing about Arabic… and I’m pretty sure I will have issues pronouncing anything resembling Hebrew.
What I hate about Chinese – any of the dialects – is that it’s like playing charade with a language.
Wish me luck.
Yaaaay for Mandarin classes!
How soon can we have u subbing BiBi stuff?
Most likely a year or more hahahaha, don't you think? quickie translations would be easier, I think.
Is this a new year's resolution? I'm thinking the same thing, only I'm considering Spanish. I already know Italian, so I'm hoping Spanish will be pretty easy…
It just sort of seemed to aligned this way. xD
I've heard Italian speakers have not problems with Spanish, so I supposed you wouldn't encounter any I would guess. You can always come here to practice your Spanish ;P
Good luck!! I tried learning Mandarin when I was a kid but I gave up really quickly ahahha. Now, I do understand when it's spoken orally although I can't speak myself and can't read.
Damn it, why do you need to rub it in that you understand spoken Mandarin, Castor! LOL You know, if I could understand… that would certainly make it easier to watch Chinese films… not having to wait for subtitles and all xD
