First Post

This blog is an attempt to practice my written chinese.
I expect it to initially be composed mostly of transcriptions and translations of dialogs from textbooks and Pimsleur, although once my vocabulary expands, I hope to include more original writings.
I may also use this space to post links and to record my thoughts(in english) on various subjects such as Chinese language and culture, language acquisition, hanzi and kanji, linguistics, and anything else I might think is relevant and/or interesting.
The intended audience is me, but anyone else happens to find any of this interesting, you're more than welcome to read it. Please feel free to leave comments too.
