Yes I understand I am in South Korea. This is the perfect time to learn Korean. Yada yada. I started learning Tagalog first. Then I got to Korea and began learning Korean. I figured if I am going to learn a difficult language it might as well be Chinese. Look at the way the world is heading. Chinese people are not rushing off to learn Korean or Japanese. Japanese and Koreans are rushing off to learn Chinese.
I have however learned Hangul and pick up a few words and phrases here and there. Which helps a LOT when you are drunk in Itaewon and just wanna get to the train station 빨리빨리.
Also, let me take the chance to say I am also still learning Tagalog at this point in time. For the next 4 or 5 months I will be juggling languages and on the 6th month I will be in full Chinese mode. Which by that time I figure I will have a decent vocabulary and know quite a few characters.
This blog is about me attempting to obtain working knowledge of Chinese within a one year time frame. I wish to be able to leave the house on a daily basis without speaking English.
