Hanging in there

Hard to believe that I'm only in the third day of class. Yet another 屁股 kicking. I am getting the feeling that all the other students have grown up listening to Chinese. They all seem to have an intuitive sense for the language and a level of comfort with it that I don't have. If I had taken Japanese instead, I would have been in that same lucky situation! On the other hand, maybe its just my own insecurities with this language which is causing me so much grief.

明高 is the only other student who has started Mandarin from scratch. I think he speaks Cantonese though, which could actually make learning Mandarin for him much harder in some areas and much easier in others. I'm glad there's someone like him in my class.
