Congradulations on the new arrival! Hope she's sleeping through the night.

I have neglected the characters. I just keep putting all my time in comprehension and speaking.
Skritter is the best. However, I think I was more interested in just cramming as many characters in as possible and seeing the statistics showing how many characters I "knew", regardless if I knew them or not. I've recently deleted all my words at skritter and started again. The turtle wins the prize - slow and steady and just don't stop. Also, my daughter now has a Chinese name and I'm sure that has inspired me more with the characters. We shall see. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Who chose the name and what does it mean? My kids all have Chinese names but they haven't got a clue as to what those are....we've never used those in speech. And a funny thing is that my husbands' Chinese name and mine means basically the same thing. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Snowflake,
卡雅智. The first character is for my last name. My mother-in-law came up with the name. One of the characters sounds like the village we live in but mostly they just liked the sound of it. Characters: I'm really pacing myself. Last night I only let myself go through one chapter of Heisig. I'll review it again today and practice writing it on Skritter.

It's hard to believe I have not updated this log. I've been studying and learning the whole time. I'm still here. I have not reached the advanced level. I can't understand movies or the news but I can converse on most topics. I'm still working at it. I bought the new "Remembering The Hanzi 2"

Congratulations on all of your life progress and your progress learning Cantonese. Even if you only learn one character a day, make it count and keep the progress up.
One day we'll be able to chat like the native speakers, huh? Heh.. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks zhanglong. I'm really going to start more with the characters now. I have the added competition with my young daughter. She is only 9 months old but I don't want her 1 day knowing more than I do - haha.
