my sister-in-law teaches korean children in china. she's (and her husband {my brother} and two kids}) in the US for the summer, obviously, but she'll be back in china in like september.

my ex girlfriend took several years of chinese in high school. she didnt seem to learn much.

I'm working hard at getting my Chinese to be at a higher level than it is now since I plan on heading to China to work next year. Although I can speak Mandarin and Cantonese fluently, I cannot read it very well nor do I know many idioms that make me sound cultured and refined.

I wish I could speak mandarin and read it, right now I can only speak basic day to day cantonese. I learn Mandarin at school though.
Practice makes perfect - it's as simple as that

I'm nearly fluent in pinyin now!

I've been learning Mandarin for about 3 years, I attended classes for 1 and 1/2 years but now I'm too busy so I just practice myself.

I'll be moving to China early next year.
