Interesting Link for Learners of Mandarin

Recently, my time has been dedicated more to preparing for the move and less to actual linguistic studies.

I came across an interesting article that I feel should be helpful to foreigners learning Mandarin and have posted it here.

The article is entitle 8 Mistakes to Avoid When Learning Mandarin:

一步登天

Today is hopefully the start of my journey to becoming fluent in Mandarin.

I learned six expressions today -

1. 一步登天 (是好律師不可能一步登天)
2. 一舉成名
3. 大哥
4. 大姐
5. 請下車.
6. 文筆

Today I found out I was accepted to National Taiwan University. Thanks to Taiwan's Ministry of Education I will be able to learn fluent Mandarin and get my master's.

你好, 文莉!

This week will start a new blog and the beginning of what hopefully will be a happy and exciting adventure. For now, let's just say that it involves learning Mandarin.
