Learning Chinese
I never thought learning Chinese would never be as simple as ABC, but it is as tough as introducing arithmetic. I don't know if you have the same experience with me, but in my case, I'm always mind-boggled. I learned this for four years just 12 years ago. However, I have forgotten it already. Perhaps because I took it for granted or it's Fukien or the language used by the Taiwanese. The school in which I'm enrolled to was a Chinese school. It is, however, comprised of Taiwanese teachers. I can still remember that we used to call them "Shanse". Those things which I learned from my Chinese school were different compared to Mandarin because when we say "Good morning", we say "Go chaki" but in Mandarin, we say "zao shang hao". I hope I'll be able to give justice to this. I hope that I'll be able to refresh and become proficient in learning Chinese because it would be very useless if I'll totally take it for granted.

What I mean is if I will take it for granted, then it is like slipping and trashing the opportunity away from me. For I believe that learning is a continuous and lifelong process. The more we learn, the more sophisticated we become! =) Thanks for your recommendation Eliza, but the question is, how will I be able to comprehend and understand what I am reading if it is all written in full Chinese? I mean, if it has no equivalent translation in English? :)

taiwanese.. now I can understand why u keep emphasizing on 'MANDARIN'. taiwanese..its fierce accent just picture a nightmare in my mind = = (kick out..)
I dont know wat u mean by saying ' be very useless if take it for granted.'
but to master chinese does not mean just 'be proficient' in speaking. u should read ancient chinese.(eg《The Book of Poetry》《the Book of Former Han》etc.)if not. to master chinese can be a 'impossible mission'
