Hi Serge,

I just got back from a three-week trip to China and had a great time. I
missed going to Shanghai, but did get to see a lot of the country. Thanks
so much for all your help. I got a lot of comments on the little Mandarin I
picked up before leaving(several of whom specifically mentioned attention to
tones, so an extra thanks for that). I plan on staying with it and learning
more though, even without any plans for a future trip, but who knows?

I made a few friends and plan on writing them through email. I don’t know
how far in advance you have lessons planned, but I would love to have a
specific lesson on letter writing, penpals, email, common closings, etc.
Just a suggestion of course.

Thanks again!

Mike

You got it, Mike, it’s a good suggestion, so one of the next lessons will be about writing letters with all that common vocabulary.

Hi Serge

I am so glad that I have found your website. I recently met a Chinese lady in South Africa and she became my girlfriend. So as you can imagine I am trying to learn Mandarin now. You lessons with ordinary conversations and words is excellent and I am enjoying it very much. I hope I will soon be able to talk a little Chinese with my girlfriend. Sometimes she laugh when I try to speak Chinese, but I can see she values my effort. So I will continue to learn. Thanks again, Serge!
