very interesting blog post about language

I read a very interesting blog post about learning Chinese (Mandarin).  It includes some good resources and it was a good read.  It's worth checking out:

I stumbled across an internet sensation I think you guys might like (or at least your wives).  We've all heard of Dashan, the Canadian guy that can speak Mandarin like a native.  Well, check this lady out:  http://www.wjla.com/articles/2011/11/how-do-you-say-internet-sensation-in-chinese--68850.html  It's a shame Youtube isn't available in China - I'd love to hear what my wife thinks of her videos.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
