Zhongwen Class

The majority of our group has started a Chinese class with real Chinese professor!  We've completed a month of class and it has been challenging writing the characters and remembering all of the tones, but I think it is really going to help us newbies have the necessary confidence to keep progressing.

As for my Chinese, since that seems to be a common question... well, it's a really stinking hard language.  I find myself understanding more and more in the meetings and on studies, even auxiliary questions!  I am still no where near conversational, but I'm trying to be patient and acquire vocab, etc...  slowly but surely I will be able to speak.  

My Spanish, on the other hand, is improving :o)  It's funny because I used to feel like attending an English meeting was a breath of fresh air every once in a while... now, Spanish is my English!
