So how did you come to learn mandarine? I have no gift at all for languages,
though other languages fascinate me, I really admire anyone who can
speak/read in another language, and am always interested in how they learned
them. ( I suppose deep down I want them to tell me how easy it is if only
I...)
It's amazing the interesting things you learn about people on this NG.
Sorry if I'm being to nosy but I just thought I'd ask.
