I'm still grumpy. I spent the day feeling resentful about my language struggles, instead of doing something about it. And I have a long week ahead of me.
More later, then…

Hang in there, tough guy. Give yourself some credit. Asian languages (in fact, any languages not based on Latin) are going to be more difficult for a white boy who grew up in Oklahoma and Northern California than Spanish. They have entirely different ways of looking at things syntactically and morphologically. It isn’t just a matter of semantics, you have to develop a whole new grammatical mindset. Clearly, that’s going to take a bit more time and you’re probably doing much better than you think, all things considered. 🙂
