Hi Ladies,

As you know, I'm living in China now, for 2 years (probably more - but don't tell my parents that).

Well, on Tuesday, I start my Chinese Language Classes & I'm freaking out!!!!!!!

I'm doing 5 hours per week & eventually am meant to be able to 'read' Chinese characters. I'm flipping out about that part!

Plus, there are FOUR tones in Chinese, so potentially the same word can have 4 different meanings! Arrrggghhhh

Has anybody else studied Chinese??? If so, I need to hear from you & I need some reassuring words.

Thanks!!
