谢谢! What truly impresses me is how people can find a purpose big enough to continue studying for years and, more importantly, with the right attitude. Without a purpose it is hard to retain vocabulary for good. In fact, I had forgotten the Chinese character for "Thank you" even though I studied the most basic characters daily for about 6 months some years ago. Learning English, otoh, has been rather easy as my interest in things such as programming pretty much require it. But then again there is French. Even though I wanted to be able to use it outside school I was never able to have a real conversation in this language. There just wasn't anything French I really connected with. Even their TV program is boring ;)
