my church makes a language study edition of the book of mormon, which has the simplified chinese characters with the pīnyīn (the phonetic system of writing chinese) alongside the english text. looks like this:
the grammar structure is a teeny bit similar, and i've heard of chinese learners having great success with this (missionaries, right?)... my french improved tremendously from reading the book of mormon in french, so why not?
pretty dang exciting, huh?
still got a long way to go, though. we just barely finished learning the pronunciation and tones this week. still have no clue what anything means (besides what i learned in china) nor can i recognize any characters (besides what i learned in china).
learning mandarin is a slooooooooooow process.
