The end of February means it is time for another monthly resolution. If you're unfamiliar with this series then this post should really explain it all. This month I will be learning Mandarin. Thus is shall be named 'Mandarin March'. I've always wanted to learn mandarin and when fellow Chinese people approach me and yabber on in Mandarin, all I can do is shake my head and say 'no' (believe me, it's happened to me a few times!).
As a Cantonese speaker, I find myself picking up Asian languages a lot easier than European languages. Something about the way my tongue rolls, it just doesn't like it. My friend who studied for a little while in China will help me along the process by messaging and speaking to me in Mandarin. I'm not attempting to becoming fluent at all but I would like to learn the basics so I'm able to converse a little.
Bring on the challenge!

Good luck with learning mandarin! Are you learning to write or just speak? I tried mandarin but I found that I got very confused with the symbols when it came to writing haha!

I might just learn to speak first and then if I take to it like duck to water, I might learn to write it too but I can't even write Cantonese so it'll be a new challenge in itself!

Hope March is a wonderful month for you, and more wonderful months to come! Good luck in your languages! I've been trying to re-fluent myself in Korean, since I moved around I lost it, I would love to speak to my Mom and everyone else perfectly. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the Korean language! I've been watching too many Korean dramas lately!
