Chinese confusion, the Hanzi army The first step has been set on the ground of the chinese land, I look around and except for the astounishing view there are no threats in sight. I confidently walk the path and smell the air, I shall come to know this land, this shall be my ultimate goal. As each adventure story goes there is the innitial phase of exitement and curiousity. Where moral is high and courage is strong. This was the first week of my journey on the mandarin path. However at this point the Hanzi army is beating me, was it zhu3, zhu1 or zhe2? With hundreds at a time they are flooding the mind in a clouded confusion. How will I ever master the nuances and puny yet important differences this language encapsulates? A question I do not want answered, I shall close my eyes and walk where my feet can carry me, I shall defeat the HANZI army!! Wish me luck.
