“跟我学汉语”

Studying Chinese has been quite a pill to swallow.  I had three semesters in uni with a Taiwanese teacher that was attempting to teach Beijing accent Mandarin and traditional characters.  I wanted to learn Southern accent Mandarin and simplified characters.  Ain't life difficult?

Next was a senior English major here at the uni I work for.  He was teaching me Southern accent and Simplified characters.   A thing of beauty.

Then he graduated.

Then there was a gaggle of giggling girlies trying to teach Chinese...  They spent two weeks teaching me fruit, which is oh so terribly useful.  I didn't find the content suitable for my interests.  An obnoxious Americunt that was also in the "intermediate" group was especially annoying.  So, I gave up.

Then there was no teacher.

Now, the English major that left me to fend for myself has started delivering lessons to me over the internet.  Life is good.
