With regards to the study of Mandarin, my approach has been CD and CP primarily. I have also engaged in reading about China (English text) in order to better understand China from a broad based perspective. I cannot say how much if any this eclectic approach is directly adding value or not to my language studies. However, I can tell you that it adds a lot to my sense of journey through the language for I am including a look at her politics, culture, history and contemporary economic, social and environmental hopes & challenges.
I hope to travel to China Q3 of 2008 on business for an extended time period. Accordingly, a sense of urgency while enjoying the learning process visits my studies of Mandarin.
Thanks for making CP a success through your posts and feedback!
