It was rather cold today. I'm guessing I'll be saying that a lot over the next couple of months. It is not lost on my that technically I went from winter into 3 weeks of autumn and straight back into mid-winter again. The thing is, technically it's still autumn so I can't imagine what actual winter is going to be like.
Our first Mandarin lesson was fun. I can now ask for a cold beer - clearly a very important question and thus today's lesson was very productive. We started with a Grade 1 textbook that will teach us how to read and write. And we practiced out tones: flat, up, up-down, down. Yes, it's as complicated as it sounds.
I'll post a photo next time - I'm too lazy to get out of bed to go get my camera to download some pics.
