chinese is hard, let's go shopping
For those who don't know yet, I had some language epiphanies and inspiration last week, and decided I was in a mental rut about only learning one language, and that there's no reason not to gradually start learning multiple languages, and so now I have started trying to learn Chinese, for multiple reasons, including that I want to go to the Esperanto congress next summer, which will be in Beijing, so it would be nice to know a few useful phrases like "Hello", "The weather is nice", "How much does that cost?", "My hovercraft is full of eels", and so forth. (I have also started re-learning German which I studied for 3 years in high school; German is being
much easier than Chinese!) Yeah, I am probably insane.
