Huck's immediate supervisor is from Taiwan,so he wants to impress that Taiwanese one day by breaking into a version of his native tongue.Well,it's my distinct honor to assist Huck with his chinese.^_^
His problem with chinese is the fact that two words which sound alike may have totally different characters and he must know the character's meaning because there is no "sounding it out" in chinese.
Although english has far too many exceptions to each rule in its syntax,many redundant words in the vocabulary,a large number of root languages and sources from which they are derived,the words themselves are simply combinations of 26 phonic symbols,each letter representing a sound made in the mouth.Now he's going to order the Rosetta Stone language system,but I think it will take him years to
get conversational.
