1. Learning Mandarin (or attempting)

Firstly, like in my other blog, apologise for lack of writing.  Computer sick, so no writing for me : (


I have just paid and signed into my 12 month course of Mandarin.  I decided to go for this language as I used to study Italian, French and Latin and wanted to try something different.  I have also always wanted to go to China, so I also thought this might be useful for some future trip.


I won't start learning it tonight as it's late and I'm tired, but paying for it and signing in is definitely the first step : )  I have also paid for a 12 month Web Development course, a 2hr course in Henna Tattooing and I am already thinking of other things to do (possibly Rollerskiing : p).  It's so exciting and I can't wait to start trying new things : )

Yonks after writing this post, I have finally started Mandarin.  So far I have done a few sessions and I am really enjoying it. My biggest problem with my course is my computer does not like the bit where the course needs to access the microphone, so I am unable to do any speaking tests yet, which is quite annoying.  However, I have started completed some of the games for the first section and I am doing well : )
