With Mandarin Chinese, I learned it in school, focused more on exams that my speaking and listening is weaker than my reading. Perhaps due to exam-anxieties, I'm a little hesitant with speaking and listening to Chinese. I last studied Chinese 10 years ago. I would like to pick up Mandarin to visit for fun and also to communicate & negotiate with suppliers/manufacturers. With Japanese, I self-taught myself while living in Japan for 2 years before getting a tutor and that's when I realized I picked up bad habits. I would like to start from foundations and identify where I'm weak, and then drill the bad habits out of me haha. I also would like to learn Business Japanese as now I go back to Japan frequently for importing Japanese goods to Los Angeles. As for Spanish, I would like to be able to communicate with the Spanish-speaking Latino community in Los Angeles, and also one day surprise my friends from Spain that I could speak Spanish.
