Tomorrow I start Uni here in HangZhou. Toni has already begun, having started her first few days on Tuesday. The Uni is not far from where we live, roughly 15 minutes or so by foot north. The course is “Elementary Chinese”, although from what Toni has said, it’s taught mostly in Mandarin (with occasional English) and is taught at a fast pace.
It will be interesting to see how i cope on my first day – the course has already been in progress two weeks, so I have a significant amount of time to make up already. It’s a good thing I’m used to being thrown into the deep end! Actually, Toni and I already knew some basic Mandarin, so hopefully it will give us some direction.
Check back tomorrow to find out how I went!
