I like learning mandarin because it is fun, I like the idea of learning s new launguage and I thought I could give mandarin a try. By the end of this term i would like to be able to know, speak, and write in mandarin, not fluently but just enough to be able to say a sentence. I am able to speak in mandarin the numbers up to 90 and say foods and greetings. For the Rosetta Stone program sometimes I find it hard to speak the launguage when there is a lot of noice around the room. To complete my goal of being able to speak, write, and know mandarin I would need to do some Rosetta Stone and home, Practice saying the words and speaking mandarin to others, and revising over the program to keep up to date making sure I complete one a day or more. At the moment I am on unit level 3 core session 4.
