Ken, You sound like a man after my own heart, chinese is my fourth language, well fourth language I have taken a stab at learning. What are your 6 languages, in order, if you don't mind answering this question??? Wo shi meigouren German is my second language Russian my third and putonghua my fourth I plan on tackling spanish and french eventually, and I can speak a few senentces in Zuni Indian, which is a fascinating language. Respect to you, do you learn these languages out of a passion of language or did you just travel a lot when you were young or something?

I have not even heard the lesson yet, but this discussion is almost more interesting. I am amazed at how arrogant some of you sound. Language is a very evolving thing, so I am sure many of you hold what you consider to be hard facts, and are not wrong, you are just not the only one who is right. So everyone needs to quit criticizing Ken and Jenny who are so gracious to provide us with all this wonderful information at no charge. Thank both so very much. Xie xie
