That week — Update.

I had a highly important trip (Wǒ yǒu yī gè fēicháng zhòngyào de lǚxíng — haha, that’s what I am capable of saying right now in Chinese). Therefore, I could not learn this time. I’ve already started the next week from Monday, and also…I could not maintain my mood with that much of activity, so people around were disoriented with me. That could not work, I wish there was some place where I could improve myself that crazy, without the need to foster relationships, e.g. for an year or two, but at the same time I am grateful for everything. I had to take my plan, and divide it by two in order to stay fresh even after my undertakings. So, now I learn 42 words, instead of 84… That’s a shame, I will know only ~2300 words after an year, which is a very basic level, compared to 4600 I wanted before. But I might still understand 70% of every needed conversation for functioning in a foreign environment.
