I’ve always wanted to learn the chinese language.  Thanks to my friend who lent me her copy of the Mandarin lessons that she is taking, my lessons will start today.  I’ve always been interested with this language for aside from the fact that this language is a good language for doing business back home, it’s also a way for me get in touch of my heritage.  I think it is my responsibility to learn the language as it is my responsibility to know the Filipino language.  I guess this is the reason why my dad felt bad that I failed my chinese classes back when I was a kid.  I guess, I never saw the importance of the learning the language back then.  I jsut hope that it won’t be as hard as learning the Bisaya dialect. Sheesh, I’ve been in Cebu for almost 4 years now and yet I couldn’t get my accent and my grammar right.  Tsk!
