How very inspiring. It gives me a boost to continue teaching my son, who has some learning disabilities we think, mandarin characters as well as our other languages. And indeed, one does need to enjoy learning a language (at least in the absence of necessity). I do learn mandarin for my own enjoyment in large part. But then as a teen I also wrote notes to myself in runes after reading the Hobbit! Thanks so much for that link. How very inspiring.
