September 28, 2013

I decided today to learn the 800 most basic Chinese characters during my stay here. It will require some discipline, but I am ready for it.

I'm also to build a circle of friends and finding out how to get my needs met while I am here.

In short, I am adjusting successfully.

Thank you Father-Mother God.

  1. This will be quite the challenge, the characters are so intricate and also quite beautiful, but I feel if you can get 800 (wow.) Chinese characters down you'll be able to do anything!

    1. I have a great book by Alison Matthews and Laurence Matthews called "Learning Chinese Characters" which uses a revolutionary method to help you learn and remember. My sense is that all that is required is self-discipline and a burning desire to learn the characters. We shall see if I have both.
