Language

[azurelunatic]

I hauled out some software I'd gotten a while ago, a tutorial on Mandarin Chinese, and popped it in the computer.

I now have a delightful long string of Chinese words coming out of my speakers, on such delightful and informative topics as body parts, colors, common phrases, food, numbers, times, and common objects.

Nephew, with his not-completely-formed brain, is happily repeating the words with just as much accuracy as he mimics Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers after watching Shrek.

He's going to grow up knowing just enough Chinese to get in trouble. Which is more than I know, anymore...

It's quite restful to hear the sound of one of the languages that I grew up with again.

Mandarin Chinese is a cool language.. I've got a friend that speaks it fluently. :)

Gosh.. lots of drama going on lately, huh?

Oh hell.. I just realized that you haven't a fucking clue who I am.. *giggle*.. I was just nosing around in LJ looking for people with similar interests, and there you were. Hope you don't mind the babbling of a complete stranger here in your comment box.

anyway.. it was cool meeting you and reading these little chunks of your life.

Have and incredible day..

Surfing around LJ by interests is always fun. I like adding new people to my friends list to see what's up in their lives too...

Today's been a restful day, free of drama other than putting together my computer desk.

oh, what fun I'd have putting together a computer desk. because that'd mean that I've got a computer... *grin* I sold mine last year to buy a camera (TOO stupid), and so I can only get online from work now. but oh well.. glad to hear that you've had a good day. I wish you the same for tomorrow. :)

oh yeah, and i did add you to my friends list. just wanted to let ya know.
