This journal is slowly turning into a "normal" journal as well, since more people read, and comment, than my "vanilla" journal. So here is an interesting tidbit about me

added another 5 words of chinese tonight. The tenses aren't so bad, it's the combinations which don't exist in english which are killing me, like the word for '7' which sounds something like 'tch'.

Its ok we can teach you heck come on over to the house and the girls will help you as well!
I understand what you mean about the combinations. Nik studied japanese for a long while and there are several dialects. All three of the girls studied it.
Make a note for yourself though do not allow ALL of your future children to learn a language that you do not know. I swear they talk about me right in front of me. I can tell by the looks i get then the giggles.

I don't think learning japanese right now would be a good idea. I'm already confusing thai and chinese and japanese is even closer to chinese than thai is (they all decended from chinese, even though thai writing comes from sanskrit).
I've got a nice shanghai girl here teaching me mandarin; she's very picky about my tones too.
