Sometimes, I surprise even myself:

 

[Yuri]

[Pi Mu Rho]

The thread subject was actually in Chinese, but I guess VBulletin doesn't like that.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Keep taking classes, especially if the teacher is actually good.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Unfortunately, that course has ended, and there's no higher-level ones available. However, I'm making extensive use of QQ (Chinese social networking/chat thingy) to converse with Chinese citizens every day. To be honest, I've learned more from that than I did from the course.

According to Google (I can vet nearly the whole translation):

Zhongguó gudài de mìmì (vbulletin-offensive diacritic characters replaced)

 

[Shakermaker]

With distinction wow. Congrats dude.

 

[dfc05]

Congrats. Always amazes me when people learn other languages. Something I've always sucked at.

How long was the course for Pi?

It was a year long. 6 tutor-marked assignments, with a final reading/writing and speaking test (which I was convinced I'd failed)

 

[Raziaar]

Post up a youtube video of you speaking in Chinese.

 

[Sloth]

Had you known any Chinese before you started?

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Giving Vegeta a run for his dirty Chinese money.

 

[Krynn72]

Yeah this is all part of Pi's plan to steal Vegetas girlfriend. Come on Pi, Can't you let the boy have anything nice?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

No.

No.

Yes.

No.

Chinese actually happens to be one of the languages I might get assigned after BMT.. that or Korean or Arabic.

But, I suppose a course like that is a lot different than learning it seven hours a day full time in a military setting with pay.
