A Turn for the Corporate · Mar 23, 09:50 PM

Isn’t all my new gear just so terribly exciting, that you want to get up and do a little jig?

I’ve been slogging through Pimsleur Mandarin I, II, and III for two semesters now, and I’m almost through—14 lessons left. 28 days later and I’m done, as long as I maintain the steady once-a-day, each-lesson-twice pace.

Anyhow.

So I’ve been learning how to be a tourist, “Shanghai has very cold winters, colder than Nanjing, don’t you think so? What about Qing Dao’s beaches? I think Qing Dao is a very beatiful place. I’m going to take a boat there this summer to vacation.”

All of a sudden, business vocabulary has popped up: “Mr. Han is a very important customer, and everyone from the international department is going to participate in next Tuesday’s meeting. How are the preparations going?” I feel the sudden urge to get an MBA.
