A Lousy Student and Worse Teacher

A while ago I decided to teach myself Chinese. Invested in a few text books, downloaded some useful files (including the full Pimsleur set and a handy book about learning another language with some useful tips).

There's just one problem with trying to teach yourself something, it's always better to be taught by someone who knows the subject.

Seriously, being self-taught has huge disadvantages, the biggest being that you can't immediately spot your mistakes without external references.

Anyone want to bother tutoring me? Because I have all the tools but the most important one.

Also, shortest blog post to date, go me!
