Another quick update

Another quick update after my last post where I mentioned that I was concentrating on the grammar exericises on the Oxford site. Well, I've just finished those this week—it took me about 3 months altogether. It helps to get into a rhythm with these things, I found my rhythm was broken by trips away and stuff, which probably doubled the time it took.

Well, "still going" I guess is the message. Progress has not been earth shattering by any means, but I did take a trip to Beijing earlier this month where I found I was at least able to communicate basic things with Chinese people, and didn't have too much trouble with having my pronunciation understood, which was good.

Going to keep up with the grammar style exercises, this time probably with the Conversational 301 text book I have for the time being.
