Eric's Beijing Diary

Finished my six week language immersion class today. I am supposed to go on to the next book, but I really don't have time to do the study necessary to justify proceeding. So I am going to study on my own for awhile now until I get caught up to where we are, then go back and study the next book. I like this program. Very conversation oriented. And the classes are small--a maximum of four students--in this case, a Korean kid, a Frenchman, and myself. But if you go to class for three hours in the morning, you really need to be studying for another three hours in the afternoon. I just cannot afford to do that. So I will spend a few months going over the stuff we have studied, then move on. Inch by inch it's coming along.
